3/5

I had a really tough time with this book and I am very glad it was not very long and I read it in one sitting. The prose is very difficult to get through but I was able to at least get the atmosphere and the general vibe of what was trying to be conveyed.

There were certainly many spooky parts to the book and I think there were some great passages in there as well but there were also large sections I just had no real idea of what was happening. The ending too was rather abrupt and I almost thought I had somehow missed a part of the book.

Overall I’m not entirely sure of the overall meaning behind the story but I do think that it was able to capture a certain dread and terror as the ghosts come and go haunting the woman and the eerie ignorance of the children.
