I was buying this today as a bday present but it’s been delayed. Aaaaugh
There are no surviving Heian era houses, a millenia of earthquakes and fires saw to that. But suspension of disbelief!
Heians didn’t cover the floor with tatami mats. Just a mat here and there to sit or lie on. They didn’t use paper soji either but screens made of embroidered fabric. A Shinden house consists of a series of large and small halls and pavilions linked by walkways. Given the flimsy open structure I’m not seeing where the girls can be buried. Suspension of disbelief keeps taking hits.
A haunted Japanese manor is a great idea but she made it unrealistically old. I’m also not crazy about the writing style and I’m not a big fan of angsty narrators. If Cat is tired of being unhappy, not hanging out with the people who made her so is a good first step. Also not a huge fan of severely dysfunctional relationships that are allowed to drag on and on like the people involved can’t even tell there’s something wrong.
