Sarah, in her desperation to free herself from the big woman (Marianne)’s mind control, killed herself; but came back to life & craves blood more, à la vampires. Initially, I assumed she was fully possessed by the big woman upon her resurrection. However, after witnessing her conversation with Lucy, she still seems to have remnants of her memories/personality as Sarah. Maybe she’s just been properly turned?

Like Van Veen’s previous novel that I read, the language is easily digestible while still being interesting & atmospheric. It seems like Sarah is being possessed by the big woman’s spirit, who may have been killed bc she had cannibalistic urges? Lucy has some sort of begrudging attraction to Michael, her sister’s husband.
