In a vast, mysterious house on the cliffs near Dover, the Silver family is reeling from the hole punched into its heart. Lily is gone and her twins, Miranda and Eliot, and her husband, the gentle Luc, mourn her absence with unspoken intensity. All is not well with the house, either, which creaks and grumbles and malignly confuses visitors in its mazy rooms, forcing winter apples in the garden when the branches should be bare. Generations of women inhabit its walls. And Miranda, with her new appetite for chalk and her keen sense for spirits, is more attuned to them than she is to her brother and father. She is leaving them slowly -

Slipping away from them -

And when one dark night she vanishes entirely, the survivors are left to tell her story.

"Miri I conjure you "

Somewhat vague description but I'm still really curious. I'm already wanting this to have small flashback chapters about the "generations of women inhabiting the walls."

It kind of has that. So far, the perspective has been really fluid with it shifting multiple times per chapter. There is a bit from the perspective of the house that I really liked.

I'm enjoying this so far. I think it is going to be a much faster read than it seemed like it would be when I first started it.
