Set in the harsh Cornish moors, the story really comes alive. I saw someone say that its almost like the setting is a character in itself, and I think that's a really good way of putting it. The plot is captivating (although at points feels a little tedious) and has a really good twist near the end. You really feel for Aunt Patience and the way she and consequentially Mary are trapped. Parts of the novel do feel very stereotypical/clichéd especially Mary's love interest, although the context of when the book was written must also be borne in mind.

Not as good as 'Rebecca' but definitely gets better as the story progresses. Last 5/10 chapters I was unable to put the book down, lots of plot twists as well
