I remember now why I didn’t care for this book. At 75% of the way through, I am wanting the story to move forward a little more quickly. The father character is awful, but through his journals, we are to trudge through the weeds of his psychosis. The book is about Maude, his daughter, the character I care about the most.

If I had a penny for each gothic novel I’d read this year with a plucky heroine called maud trapped in a mansion and craving the marshes… I’d had two pennies but still it’s an intriguing coincidence

I read this years ago. Trying it again.

236: no wait. Maud’s washing blood here.
I WAS wondering why the book mentioned blood here. Why the author would mention Maud starting her period. IT WAS NOT A PERIOD.

211: around July 1912: kiss and more?
231: Clem avoiding Maud. I thought it was because he was forced to marry Ivy, but maybe because they’ve lost a baby?

A baby?!? Clem’s baby?!
Where in the book was Maud washing the blood off her hands???

Ohh Tokyo!
I wasn’t expecting this book to mention my city.

"Hulloa" (or "hullo") is primarily a British, informal way of saying "hello," used as a greeting or to call attention, similar to "hey," and can function as an exclamation, noun, or verb. It's a variant spelling of "hello," sometimes appearing with "hulloa," and its usage dates back to the 1850s.
