One of my favorite books. Creepy and sad. ( ![]() This was a book club read which was a most enjoyable surprise, as I had never heard of either author or book before. The writing is beautifully concise, yet brilliantly evocative. The characters are memorable and the setting is vivid. It is quite a short, but enthralling read. My only reservation was that the ending left much to the imagination. While, I'm sure this open-endedness was deliberate on the author's part, I was expecting the loose ends to be tied up. This book was so good I would have given it 5 stars, but since the ending was a little disappointing, I'm giving it 4 stars. Dark, creepy, intriguing, charming, and very, very sweet. I picked up this book after it was mentioned as a recommendation to "suggestions of books about small, quiet lives", and what I got was a masterpiece. Dark, chilling, brilliantly written. It would probably make the perfect selection for a book club, because of the many speculations possible after completing each chapter. The characters are mysterious, and will make you come up with a number of theories to tie their idiosyncrasies together. I enjoyed reading it and it was unlike what I usually read, in a good way. 3,75 stars. I liked it, but in a way that's really hard to pin point. Everything about this was better than average, yet nothing blew my mind.
Of the precocious children and adolescents of mid-twentieth-century American fiction ... none is more memorable than eighteen-year-old "Merricat" of Shirley Jackson's masterpiece of Gothic suspense We Have Always Lived in the Castle (1962).
