Oh, Kelly Link...
I actually liked this story of hers because I felt like I could finish the story without her help. It reminded me a great deal of "The Others" with Nicole Kidman.
I found another blog that was focusing on this story if anyone's interested: http://acurioussingularity.blogspot.com/
I looked up "The One Who is Watching Me Through the Window," but it is not a real book, unfortunately. And, as far as I can tell, Eight Chimneys is not a real place, either. Although, that would have added a lot to the story, at least for me.
Throughout Link's stories, it seems that's easier for her to not end the stories. This is purely my opinion, but I want someone who forms the plot and spells it out. But maybe you like the freedom of forming your own stories and conclusions.

I don't know, I actually really like that she doesn't stick a very concise ending on it. You're left more in the moment, still very much a part of the story. I felt like since the story never "ended" that I just wanted to keep on going, to jump into the next story.
ReplyDeleteAnd I agree about feeling like The Other's, I immediately thought of that movie before even getting a past the first page.
