White is for Witching by Helen Oyeyemi
mysterious
slow-paced
4.5
Whoa.
So much to wrap my mind around (and reading it during Covid-induced fog is surely an experience). I enjoyed the shifting POVs and Oyeyemi did such a natural job of differentiating each narrator's story (they were told in the first person). Certainly a haunted house story. Oyeyemi seems to be a hit or miss for me and is now leaning towards hit. I liked Icarus Girl and Boy, Snow, Bird but couldn't get into Gingerbread.
