Review of 'The Haunting of Hill House' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
5/5
What a phenomenal story. Following Eleanor journey through her doubt and fears, though her desperate desires to find a place for herself in the world. She makes friends and the spirals into jealousy and self doubt again.
The house is always watching and waiting, and Eleanor knows it. She finally and truly does come home and yet it’s clear-or maybe not- that it’s all a lie.
I love the play with how the story is structured, how it jumps sometimes ahead to a different time and makes it disorienting as if you truly were losing yourself along with Elanor. I got chills reading through some sections, and really felt horrified at others. Really well done.
