e. The Secret History, progenitor of it all) is brought to the forefront here and highlighted in the form of a sapphic relationship and two lesbian main characters. The location plays a big role in this, and setting it at an elite girl’s boarding school north of New York City was a clever way to achieve the desired aesthetic without going back in time. She is just broken in a way that tugged at my heart strings and drew me in from the first couple of chapters. The ghosts of Felicity, Ellis, and Alex—and of Dalloway School and its historical witches— will linger with you long after the final page .
