jlamb0718 's review for:

We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson
4.0
challenging dark mysterious slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes
This was a well written gothic tale told through the perspective of one troubled young girl. I enjoyed Jackson's writing here, it was more simplistic while still painting and developing characters in atmospheric dread.
