I had trouble getting into this book at first--the beginning seemed choppy and disjointed. Normally I'd stop reading a book like this, but as you get more connected with the characters it's impossible to put down. The writing is beautiful, and it's a fascinating mystery/ ghost story that slowly is worked out for the reader. "The Lantern" has been compared to Daphne Du Maurier's "Rebecca," and the main character, Eve, is drawn to her book during a bleak period in her relationship with Dom. I'd like to reread "Rebecca" now for comparison. This would be a great book for discussion!
