Helpful Score: 8
Just finished this and all I can think is, "WOW!" No other words for it. The plot twists are great, the characters are so complex, and I really enjoyed the beginning descriptions of the book store, Margaret's life, and how she feels when summoned to write the biography. An all-around fantastic read.
Someone mentioned how slow the beginning is, but I enjoyed it, as it set the tone for the rest of the novel. It's fanciful, gothic, gruesome, and a testament to the ties we have with our families. I kept thinking of all the romantic novels mentioned in the book, Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, etc., and how much the story was a tribute to their influences in literature.
