Little Eve

by
The first 100 pages were a bit convoluted and felt overstuffed with beautiful yet dense prose, so much so that it almost became unbearable- like chewing a mouthful of sweets that never break down. But Ms Ward's words effectively set the stage for the horribly haunting tale that followed, the mindsets of the characters involved, and the cruelty their lives were bathed in.
Enjoy gothic horror of the highest order? then this is the book for you.
3 1/2 Beguiling Stars

"He took up the poker and stood over him in the dark room. There was only the sound of fire. He thought how easy it would be to strike him, and then push his father's head into the flames...Right and wrong- those are just words. When we are standing in the dark, holding a flaming poker, there is only one thing to consider and that is ourselves. Can we hold such an act within us, without being irrevocably changed?"

Thank you, Leeanne! Some of her sentences are so dang beautiful..! Me thinks (hopes) you will enjoy :)
Very few can make overstuffed beautiful dense prose and make it work. But Catriona Ward can. Even if I choke a little.
Right? Stick with her through her rocky yet intriguing beginnings and you will be wonderfully rewarded, chokes and all ;)
