Easy to read and well written but the story didn't grab me. 2 sisters withdraw from the world, who is looking after who? ( ) A Claustrophobic but Mesmerizing Story What happened to the Blackwood family? As this bizarre tale opens, we meet paranoid, superstitious Mary Katherine (Merricat) and agoraphobic Constance, young women who live in an old mansion with only their infirm Uncle Julian. As the story unfolds the reader learns that after their family tragedy six years ago, the trio has been ostracized by their small town. The sisters stick to their rigid routine, rules, traditions and superstition s unit an unsettling change occurs. This short book had me on the edge of my seat. Who and what caused the family tragedy? What underlying problems produced the damage to the sister? The story is told through the unreliable voice of Merricat, and that proves to be a creepy and claustrophobic point of view! Huh. Kogu aeg on olnud plaanis ja nüüd lõpuks sattus kätte. Väga. Hea. Lugu. Meenutas natuke "Herilase vabrikut" ja "Tüdrukut, kes armastas tuletikke", aga tegelikult ei ole sarnane. Ainuld see ... tunne, mingi õhkõrn vaib, millele ei ole võimalik kuidagi näppu peale panna. Lõpp oli natuke mehh, aga ainult juuksekarva võrra ja võtan süü selle pärast täiesti enda peale - kuna minu aju seostas loo millegipärast eelmainitud kahe raamatuga, siis säärast pööret nagu seal ei tule. Aga hea. Väga hea.
