Janet is misunderstood, dismissed, and made to feel “other” by her family, peers, and teachers in her girls‘ school in Scotland. She wanders her family‘s dark, crumbling, rambling castle. Janet feels deeply, especially affected by animal suffering, and feels at peace in nature. She grates on the nerves of those around her with her ‘know it all‘ ways. It‘s an atmospheric read with excellent writing and striking imagery. Short but feels long. ⬇️
