Basically a gothic domestic thriller which is not a thriller sub genre I generally enjoy.
I know it's well loved and considered a classic, and I can absolutely see it, hence the rating, but I didn't like it and whilst I'm glad to have finally read it, I don't feel the need to ever read it again.
Reminds me of Jane Eyre especially the domineering, brooding older husband and naive younger narrator - another classic I dislike massively.
Maybe if I'd read it when I was younger I'd feel differently but alas I didn't and for me it just didn't work.
