The language was a bit difficult to get used to at first but the story flows once you do. Written entirely from the pov of the protagonist, it details her experiences, her little wins, and the climax of the story builds steadily as shades shift from warm to cold. I especially like how, similar to cinematography, the descriptions of objects in any given scene are used to convey to the reader the tone of the story. All in all it was borderline horror set in early American society i believe, and very much a treat to read.
I plan to read and review one short story a day, I hope that is ok.
