wow. So a cool "literary" take on the Gothic genre? Could combine w 2 recent novels falling into this camp: Stephanie LaCava's I Fear My Pain Interests You, and Francesca Lia Block's House of Hearts. Both feature semi-tragic heroines, shadowy male characters and isolated houses with mystery rooms. Someone should write a trend story on these.

And Anna shares a publisher (Verso) with Stephanie.
Definitely an exciting new direction in women’s literature!
Wonderful review!
Thank you Judith!
