The way MeredithâÇÖs mind gets confused as she learns more and more tugged at my heart, and reading EllenâÇÖs experiences with her beau and how his mental health was essentially compartmentalised in an era when there wasnâÇÖt much knowledge was heartwrenching. â¡Èï¸Åâ¡Èï¸Åâ¡Èï¸Åâ¡Èï¸Åâ¡Èï¸ÅâÇÖWithin the tale, there are elements of the gothic tradition, with old houses, fog, rising waters, stormy weather and more. The readerâÇÖs pulse rate rises as we are committed to following the action. I thoroughly enjoyed The House In The Water. It consumed me from the start. It was the first book by Victoria Scott but I certainly she she will write more.âÇÖ â¡Èï¸Åâ¡Èï¸Åâ¡Èï¸Åâ¡Èï¸Åâ¡Èï¸ÅâÇÖDonâÇÖt you love a dual time line novel? I do and this one is exceptional - I have read the authorâÇÖs earlier work and this is straying into much darker territory, but I think it only serves to show what a great writer she is... Atmospheric, gripping, with huge heart and impossible to put down - the very best sort of book! â¡Èï¸Åâ¡Èï¸Åâ¡Èï¸Åâ¡Èï¸Åâ¡Èï¸Å Beautiful captivating prose, kept me totally engaged in both timelines.âÇÖ â¡Èï¸Åâ¡Èï¸Åâ¡Èï¸Åâ¡Èï¸Åâ¡Èï¸ÅWonderful. My first by this author but not the last. â¡Èï¸Åâ¡Èï¸Åâ¡Èï¸Åâ¡Èï¸Åâ¡Èï¸ÅâÇÖThis is definitely a spellbinding and unsettling tale with a dash of romance set in WW2 and 2013 that might haunt your dreams and leave you with a lot to think about! A riveting read.âÇÖ â¡Èï¸Åâ¡Èï¸Åâ¡Èï¸Åâ¡Èï¸Åâ¡Èï¸ÅâÇÖI was engrossed in the story from the start. May Day House is a rehab house for soldiers during WWII. They are cared for and sent back to war. Years later a couple buys the house which soon appears to be haunted by the soldiers who had been there. It is a great story.âÇÖ â¡Èï¸Åâ¡Èï¸Åâ¡Èï¸Åâ¡Èï¸Åâ¡Èï¸Å
