Review "A marvelous elucidation of life…a story full of craft and full of mystery" —The New York Times Book Review"A witchs brew of eerie power and startling novelty" —The New York Times"I was thrilled by the genuine but meaningful strangeness of Shirley Jacksons We Have Always Lived in the Castle." —George Saunders"Jacksons novel is so wonderfully creepy that students usually feel subversive just for reading it. Add to that one of the most brilliantly realized unreliable narrators in fiction and the book becomes irresistible." —Marlon James Review Quote "A marvelous elucidation of life...a story full of craft and full of mystery" -- The New York Times Book Review "A witchs brew of eerie power and startling novelty" -- The New York Times "I was thrilled by the genuine but meaningful strangeness of Shirley Jacksons We Have Always Lived in the Castle ." --George Saunders "Jacksons novel is so wonderfully creepy that students usually feel subversive just for reading it.
