I loved this book!!! I really enjoyed the way the author inserts a bit of terror in each chapter so that everything builds up to a final, wonderfully scary climax. The underlying historical romance involved was so delicate, sweet, and heartbreaking I was able to truly feel for the characters involved. The sense of purpose the main character had to keep her kids together no matter what, and the way the author uses words in a way to make you really "know" each character, child and adult characters alike, made this book one of the better books I have read in quite awhile. My opinion may not be the same as yours, but to me this book, while a horror, was also a beautiful ghost story at the same time.
