I read this book as part of a halloween readathon challenge on bookly. In keeping with classic gothic style, it's set in a manor house and the weather is awful the entire time. I felt Paver really did her best here to personally antagonise me with the absolutely despicable man she wrote to be Maud's father, and I am sure that getting lobotomised is comeuppance enough for this man, but I do wish something happened to him to make him regret his actions more desperately...  
I liked how Ivy was written in as a multifaceted person who had motivations in line with her very unfortunate circumstances, not just as a bitch whole and pure. 
Poor Maman, poor Clem, poor Jubal, poor Chatterpie
