Books: We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson

Ooh, spooky book. But who are the spooky ones and which ones are getting haunted. Things are not so clear in this tale that centers on the daily life of a young girl in a small town.

I like reading books with mystery as well as intelligence – this had a great balance of both. A lot of things are unclear, and despite having a villain appear things were not what they seemed.

There is an overarching message here, maybe about small town life and our responsibilities towards each other, and the way the tale unfolds it gradually becomes more apparent.

Next I am reading The Clockwork Girl by Anna Mazzola.
