Spread Book Joy | We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson | Book and Film Review @spreadbookjoy | Uploaded March 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
This 1962 book is a classic of American Gothic fiction about the Blackwood sisters, Constance and Merricat, who live in a crumbling, old mansion on the edge of a town full of hostility and suspicion. Here are my thoughts on the book and 2018 film.
