Creepy , but lacking in plot for my taste. About a third of the way through, I got impatient to finish and find out if anything interesting would happen. Not a good sign.
This story starts out somewhat slowly....but if you can hang on till it gets interesting it's hard to stop listening. Setterfield paints some beautiful and terrible pictures for her reader/listener, and I enjoyed the twist at the end.
A really good story, well written and an ending that brings it all together. I really enjoyed this book.
This is a gothic novel in the best sense a horrific tale told in mannered, finely wrought prose. It is among other things a paean to story telling wrapped in an ever surprising story. Anyonr who loves a good story should give it a try.
The story of Vida Winters reminded me of the earlier books by VC Andrews that I couldn't help but be drawn into this story. The ending was a surprise that wrapped up nicely.
