The Turning
The Turning | Francine Prose
2 posts | 5 read | 2 to read
A dark house. An isolated island. Strange dreams and even stranger visions . . . Jack is spending the summer on a private island far from modern conveniences. No Wi-Fi, no cell service, no one else on the island but a housekeeper and the two very peculiar children in his care. The first time Jack sees the huge black mansion atop a windswept hill, he senses something cold, something more sinister than even the dark house itself. Soon, he feels terribly isolated and alone. Yet he is not alone. The house has visitorspeering in the windows, staring from across the shore. But why doesn't anyone else see them . . . and what do they want? As secrets are revealed and darker truths surface, Jack desperately struggles to maintain a grip on reality. He knows what he sees, and he isn't crazy. . . . Or is he? From nationally acclaimed author Francine Prose comes a mind-bending story that will leave you realizing how subtle the lines that separate reality, imagination, and insanity really are.

Mehso-so

Book 94🎧
I picked this one because Kirby Heyborne is one of my favourite audiobook performers and I probably liked it a lot more for the same reason👏🏻
At the beginning I got total Miss Peregrine vibes (and not just because of Heyborne😂) there‘s a bird, an isolated home on a small island, peculiar children…
The story was good but the ending was a bit lack lustre for me and drops it to a so-so🤷🏼‍♀️
