We Have Always Lived in the Castle, by Shirley Jackson

Categorized in:

always-lived-in-castle

Another of Jackson’s excellent, subdued supernatural New England novels (following The Haunting of Hill House). This one focuses on two (or is it one?) odd sisters who are old money outcasts in their village and the mystical and social barriers they erect to maintain their position and privacy. Well worth a read.
