I'm not sure what I was expecting with this book but what I got was a bizarre story about a family gathering at the grandfather's cabin, where odd, disturbing and disconcerting events are taking place. The children of the families are banished to their own wing of the house, only seeing the adults at dinner and occasionally otherwise. As the children start to forget things, are they imagining, or dreaming?
The children were not referred to by name, but instead as The Liar, The Secret Keeper, The One with the Beautiful Voice etc ... it seemed like these were not really explained and throughout the story I found it a bit difficult to remember who was who and decipher whose POV I was reading. Perhaps that is by design, as the events keep you guessing all along as what is actually happening, it's quite unsettling reading the descriptions but not being able to fully visualise it. Overall a very interesting but confusing read for me.
