This is a gothic novel. Highly recommend reading more about how gothics are paced before diving in, but it has a gloriously haunted house, an irritating heroine, and a family filled with gruesome, disturbing secrets. I loved it, but I know it's not for everyone.
Graphic: Body horror, Confinement, Death, Incest, Racism, and Colonisation
Moderate: Emotional abuse, Gore, Infidelity, Misogyny, Racism, Kidnapping, Death of parent, Murder, and Gaslighting
