A review by jenniferlynnkrohn
House of Mist: A Novel by María Luisa Bombal

1.0

House of Mist is a well written Gothic novel, and I enjoyed it until the second half. Unfortunately, it is another book where a put upon waif falls in love with a dark, brooding, and psychological abusive man. Daniel, the love interest, blackmails his sister, but it is excused because she an adulterer. He gaslights the heroine, which is presented as heroic and loving.
