we have always lived in the castle (shirley jackson)

i can't think of any other word to describe this book than ms dundas's omnipresent 'wondrous'. it's absolutely appropriate. i love the atmosphere it creates and the strangeness of it all, the self-invented magic, the sociopathic feelings, the unreliable narrator, everything. i enjoyed every single line. and how it's everything but pretentious, it's just a perfect little gem of a book. mind you, it might be a case of either loving it or hating it, who knows, it might only work if you buy the premise in the first place. nonetheless, if you don't like it, well, you are a fool.

Rating: 10/10
