We Have Always Lived in The Castle

We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Well ... I suppose that's one way to de-clutter.

If you don't like reading between the lines, you should take a pass on this one. The book is fairly short at 146 pages but the author covers a lot of ground. There is no actual sex scene, not so much as an impassioned glance, but abuse, probably of a sexual nature is hinted at widely.

The plot is actually pretty thin. What's suggested is far more substantial than what is written. The characters appear weird and it's necessary for the reader to stop and wonder how they got that way.
I really enjoyed this book but it's not for everyone.
