I couldn't wait to delve into this book once I started reading it, cursing every day I was too busy to read as I wanted to get back to the well-crafted world that you can imagine yourselves in. The author does well in describing the houses that we enter across many POV, showing the disposition of Haggard House. While reading the book, I would make the association that this book reminds me of East of Eden and Wuthering Heights as we see trauma trickle down and affect generations around the Haggard House. An excellent read. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the advanced copy.

Rounding up to 3 ⭐

Very much a slow burn, with some moments that are a good pay off for the time spent reading.
I spent a good while puzzling over the dynamics of Adam and his mother, and indeed other characters.
It was never a book I rushed back to, but I'm glad I read it all to discover all its secrets

I read this ARC in exchange for an honest review
