This is a fantastic story. I think I need to read through it again to fully get it. Right now, all my mind is saying is, "Holy crap. What? What just happened? WHAT?" Oh, and I had a few sleepless nights imagining little Miles standing at the foot of my bed, staring creepily at me as he does on the cover.

Aside from that, and the doom of a large essay I have to write about it hanging over my head, I just ate this up. I love the narration, getting inside the crazy governess's thoughts. There are so many different and fascinating ways to read into this story: is the governess insane? Jealous? A pedophile? All of the above? Who knows. She tells a damn good story, that's for sure.
