This is a short book, a novella, about a couple whose young son, Ewan, has died recently. At first it appears to be a story of a couple trying to deal with their grief, in a creepy house on the moors, but it turns into a gothic sort of ghost story. We have Richard on one side, who is sceptical of his wife's belief that a seance can bring her some kind of peace after their son's death, and Juliette, who wants to believe that the ritual can do some good for her, for them both. There are also differing views on what happened with their son before he died, with Richard taking a more sensible approach to his wife, or so it seems.
Even though the book wasn't for me, I think the author described the scenery beautifully and included a bit of folklore in there, and I think the writing style almost made it it feel like a classic.
unfortunately. It was just not for me
