The Pound family gets more than they bargained for when hire Winifred Notty to be their governess. Ms. Notty has quite a Christmas planned for them! Unfortunately, the more she learns and stays with the family, the harder time she has sticking to those plans...
This book was a fever dream. Once I started, it was hard to put down this weird and interesting book. Very darkly funny, very gory. It was an interesting juxtaposition with the proper way the book was written versus the content of the novel. I was a bit let down at the ending, truth be told, but it was honestly the most realistic. If you love novels of mad women, this is a great one to pick up!
