Let me start by saying the narrator of the audiobook was fabulous. However, I can't say that the story gave me the same feelings. I went into this without knowing much and anticipated it being a typical haunted house story.

I don't mind having the "horror" elements end up being related to the human experience and trauma, but this just didn't do it for me.

I had a hard time understanding who we were referring to in the majority of the book, who was speaking, etc.-all of the "E" character names confused the heck out of me. The writing was impactful in some areas, but too metaphorical for me in the majority. I think the author was trying to draw parallels with history, but the inclusion of the Lily character felt very out of place and unnecessary. The ending was so lackluster for me and I had to suspend reality too much compared to the rest of the book.
