This is widely considered a classic, and the fact that it's labeled a gothic is what drew me in. I only made it about 1/3 of the way through and decided to throw in the towel.
At that point, nothing had happened. Phoebe had heard a voice, but that's it. Super long paragraphs and irrelevant descriptions made reading this book extremely tedious. I kept looking for other things to do rather than pick this back up. Since I quit early, I might've missed why it was important to describe chickens for three pages.
I looked up the plot online, and the funny thing is I'm sure some of the "good stuff" was coming up. But the writing style was so boring, I just didn't enjoy any of my time with this book.
