About this listen

Sarah Crowe left Atlanta, and the remnants of a tumultuous relationship, to live alone in an old house in rural Rhode Island. Within its walls she discovers an unfinished manuscript written by the house's former tenant - a parapsychologist obsessed with the ancient oak growing on a desolate corner of the property. And as the gnarled tree takes root in her imagination, Sarah risks her health and her sanity to unearth a revelation planted centuries ago.

"[Caitlín R. Kiernan has] a gift for language that borders on the scary." (Neil Gaiman)

I honestly didn't expect this to be as good as it was. The plot was unique and then narration superb

kind of a hidden gem

I read a quote from the author about the chains of plot, preferring character and atmosphere. I think that sums up this book perfectly.
You aren't quite sure what's real, what's supernatural and the main character is more interesting than sympathetic.

Personally I enjoyed it, I can't blanket recommend it though.
