In the tradition of Shirley Jacksons We Have Always Lived in the Castle, a darkly humorous modern classic of Scottish literature about a doomed adolescent growing up in the mid19th centuryfeaturing a new introduction by Maggie OFarrell, awardwinning author of Hamnet.Janet lies murdered beneath the castle stairs, attired in her mothers black lace wedding dress, lamented only by her pet jackdawAuthor Elspeth Barker masterfully evokes the harsh climate of Scotland in this atmospheric gothic tale that has been compared to the works of the Bronts, Edgar Allan Poe, and Edward Gorey. Immersed in a world of isolation and loneliness, Barkers illfated young heroine Janet turns to literature, nature, and her Aunt Lila, who offers brief flashes of respite in an otherwise foreboding life. People, birds, and beasts move through the background in a tale that is as rich and atmospheric as it is witty and mordant. The familys mottoMoriens sed Invictus (Dying but Unconquered)is a wellsuited epitaph for wild and courageous Janet, whose fierce determination to remain steadfastly herself makes her one of the most unforgettable protagonists in contemporary literature.

O Caledonia is beautifully written and captures the essence of life’s complexities. I found myself highlighting so many passages. The depth of the characters is impressive, and I would say it's a must-read for fans of literary fiction.

Disappointed with the Ending
I enjoyed the buildup of O Caledonia, but the ending felt rushed and unsatisfying. It left too many questions unanswered, which was a letdown after such a strong start. Still, there were moments of brilliance in the writing.
