This book gave me some serious Jane Austen vibes at first, just more on the depressing side. In the beginning, you have two sisters losing their home because their father is dying. A cousin is inheriting the home, and they have to deal with some reduced circumstances. The younger sister ends up falling for a man who is very "Wickham" (a man who basically tells her he can make her life better and she believes him), and she disappears.
And here's where we divert from Austen. People start to die, and they keep dying for the rest of the book. The elder sister, who is the main character, never gets to experience anything resembling true love. She does end up taking care of two children, though. I guess you could classify the ending as happy, but for me, this book was just okay.
