Look inside a castle par Jenny Moss

Promising premise. Possibilities. Intriguing situations and relationships.
BUSTED.
The style is abrupt, and bluntly lacking in information. The plot-twist is predictable from the first chapter, the characters have what another reader aptly described as "emotional ADHD," and, Oh!, it could have been SOOOOOO much better. It had promise, and it failed. Unlike other books that need editing, this one needs EXTENSIVE editing and should have been rewritten another ten times, with a greater amount of time spent observing human nature and less time reading Twilight and paperback romances.… (plus d'informations)

Switching the girls at birth - not a unique plot element. There's not even a new twist on it. Still, good character development of Shadow. Ending was a bit of a let down - expected more of a confrontation and for Shadow herself to have a bigger hand in the take down.
An intriguing look at a moment in time: not just the 1918 influenza epidemic that serves as the backdrop, but the changes wrought in the life of narrator Winnie. I enjoyed how this book provided a window into both the macro and the micro. We see how the fear of the epidemic spreads even ahead of the disease itself, while at the same time exploring Winnie's relationship with her troubled mother.
