Great review Helen. Have added this book to my list for future reading. I recently read Shirley Jackson's 'Dark Tales', a collection of short stories. Such a brilliant writer.
Wonderful, thank you for listening and watching and hope you are well! I need to read more of her books. I got sidelined into reading about her life which was sad to say the least....
Great book. It’s short but every word is important. I intentionally read it slowly so as not to miss a thing. This is modern gothic literature at its very finest. The sisters are very cool-dependent on each other and even though Constance is the one who cannot leave the house or yard it’s Mary Catherine who what’s to keep the world outside. Read this book. You will not regret a minute of time spent with it.
That was a very entertaining review. I think I would enjoy that book too. I’ll mark it in my calendar for the month of October . Thanks! Keep them coming.
Really enjoyed this review and the way you filmed and edited it - it felt like it was all in one take? Seriously impressive and thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Yeah it was all in the one take. In the past, I used to create videos, edit them, plan them etc. Now I just can’t be bothered anymore. What you see is what you get onscreen im afraid. 🤣
How wonderful!! I loved her writing and this book. I couldn’t believe her sad story when I read her background though. I’m now on the lookout for more of her books.
Thank you Laura, yes it is a great book. I keep thinking that I should revisit it as a book club book (I run a book club). I think the group might really like it.... I appreciate you watching and sharing your thoughts here. Happy reading!

"a real prick" is honestly a tasteful understatement.
Completely, conpletely awful.

I read this book a few months ago and I still can’t stop thinking of the characters! Great review!

One of my favorite books & authors!
Do you have any favourite books you recommend from her?
@@LifeLessonsFromBooks The Haunting of Hill House & The Lottery & related short stories are good!
I’ve read The Haunting but not The Lottery which many people love. Right. Time to find it and read it. Thank you!!
