Description
"We Have Always Lived in the Castle" is a haunting and suspenseful novel by Shirley Jackson. Set in a decaying mansion, it follows the lives of the Blackwood sisters, Merricat and Constance, who live in isolation after a family tragedy. The story unfolds through the lens of Merricat's peculiar perspective, revealing a tale of dark secrets, societal ostracism, and the eerie atmosphere of a town marked by suspicion. Jackson weaves a narrative that explores the complexities of family relationships, mental instability, and the blurred lines between reality and the supernatural. The novel is celebrated for its atmospheric tension and psychological depth, making it a classic in the realm of gothic literature.
