So ... that's what a Gothic romance is like. Interesting. Um. Well, I finished it. I wanted to dropkick the three main-most characters on a regular basis, the children were nothing but cardboard cutouts, it's possible that the housekeeper was the most interesting character in the whole book but we end it still knowing almost nothing about her. SO MANY LOOSE ENDS. What on earth ever happened with the cow milking experiment??? Aaarrrg.
