The Wolf in the Attic is a mesmerizing gothic fairy tale. I just loved every second I spent with Anna, the young narrator who is dreamy and precocious and tragic and wise. The plot was wonderful (and a bit unexpected) and the writing style was magical. This was very nearly a 5 Star read for me but I was anticipating so much more from the Tolkien/Lewis promise of the synopsis. It just felt gimmicky and wrong. Still, all in all, I adored this book and Anna is going to linger in my heart for quite some time.
