We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley JacksonMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I listened to We Have Always Lived in the Castle written by Shirley Jackson and narrated by Bernadette Dunne. While this is traditionally categorized as horror, I didn't really find it very scary. It is very gothic, and the psychological issues are compelling. I should probably be worried that I find myself relating to Mary Catherine quite a bit. I get her cat connection, her interest in magic, and even how you sometimes want bad things to happen to your enemies. And I can't really blame Constance for wanting to hole up in her house and not deal with people. They are pretty terrible to her and her sister. I am probably not taking away the right message, but I thought this was the happiest ending I have read in awhile.
