Ali is invited to Storm Towers by the mother of her high school friend, Joan. Mother believes Joan to be in ~*~grave danger~*~ and thinks that Ali is the only one who can save her.
I've got this strange feeling that my (translated) edition of the book was somehow abridged.
The entire book, with an exception of a couple of short paragraphs in the last chapter, takes a span of 24 hours. This isn't a novel nor is it a short story. There's no character development to speak of, yet somehow a bunch of ye olden ancestors weasel into the picture. The main cast are given vague backgrounds in the beginning, and that's about it. The conclusion is rushed and a tad uncalled for, if you ask me.
Also, the author doesn't like hippies. Among other things.
I like gothic fiction. I don't like disliking books. But please don't read this one.
