pickThis novel has one of the most psychologically evil fictional characters I have ever met. Be forewarned—parts of this are very difficult to read due to the actions taking place and the pure sinister behavior of one of the characters. We hear the story through Gillian, who as a woman in her 70s is reminded of a troubling episode in her teenage life, prior to WWII, when she visits the home of her friend Violet Claybourne over winter break. ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Librarybelle ⬆️⬆️⬆️ Gillian is entranced by the crumbling home and the old money of the Claybourne and wishes desperately to become friends with all of Violet‘s sisters. However, something horrific occurs one day that changes the lives of those involved forever and haunts Gillian. This is a slow building novel, almost too slow in the beginning, but once the reader realizes the manipulations taking place, it makes sense. ⬇️⬇️⬇️ 4d
Librarybelle ⬆️⬆️⬆️ It is creepy, gothic, snd unputdownable. Nathalie Buscombe‘s voice narration is stunning, and as things are revealed, her choice of tone can be quite chilling at times. So many red herrings and shocks in this one. Thanks to Libro.FM‘s advanced librarian‘s copy program for this one! #LitsyAToZ #LetterU @Texreader 4d

Reggie Great review! Stacked! And the cover looks sooo pretty compared to what you say it‘s about. How funny. 3d
Librarybelle Thanks, @Reggie ! And yes…the cover hides what is in this. The UK cover is in blues, and I think that better fits it. 3d
