We Have Always Lived in the Castle
We have always lived in the castle
Bok av Shirley Jackson
Merricat Blackwood lives on the family estate with her sister Constance and her uncle Julian. Not long ago there were seven Blackwoods until a fatal dose of arsenic found its way into the sugar bowl one terrible night. Acquitted of the murders, Constance has returned home, where Merricat protects her from the curiousity and hostility of the villagers. Their days pass in happy isolation until cousin Charles appears. Only Merricat can see the danger, and she must act swiftly to keep Constance from his grasp.
Har länge velat läsa en bok av Shirley Jackson, är nöjd att jag gjort det men ingen jag kommer att läsa mer av. Lite får långrandig och seg för att verkligen krypa under skinnet som man hoppas en bok av denna genre ska göra.
