Thornyhold

A nice tale of finding oneself in the countryside, with some slight sinister and romantic undertones.

I wasn't totally sure what to expect from this novel–it was interesting, but a bit muted in all aspects. (For example, the romance is sweet, but understated.) The beginning is sad and a bit longer than necessary, I thought, and then the end happens rather quickly. I loved seeing how the main character's life came together, but often found myself waiting for something more.

Overall it was a quiet story, fascinating in it's own way, but not quite what I had been hoping for. Good for a rainy afternoon of reading though!
