![]() ![]() ![]() I’m going to do my best to write about this book sans-spoilers, since it has so many wonderful twists and turns. I first read the novel in 2006, I think, and re-read it yesterday, just to make sure it was still great… a second read removed some of the suspense, of course, because the questions were no longer unanswered – but it actually brought a new dimension to the tale, too, as I shall explain… Initially published in 1962, this great image is from the new Penguin reprint in the UK. ![]() As well as being my favourite ever book title (doesn’t it make you want to read the book, without reading a word more about it?) this is a quite brilliant novel. Well done to those who correctly guessed We Have Always Lived in the Castle from the image I shared the other day – and well done to those with the foresight to have bought the book already.
