All of their stories are full of dark, sad things. The narrative shifts back and forth between the two, until we move further and further back, meeting Mary, Iris’s grandmother, and Meg, Iris’s mother, and some other characters that are either connected to Rawblood or to Iris herself. We are then thrown back in time and meet Charles, a doctor, who lived at Rawblood for some time with Alonso, Iris’s father. ![]() The novel follows the narrative of multiple characters, beginning with Iris Villarca, the daughter of the great, ancient house of Rawblood which stands in the wind-swept moors of Dartmoor. So when I got the chance to read The Girl from Rawblood by Catriona Ward, I did a little happy dance in my chair because I was so ready to be scared by a good ol’ gothic novel. Despite loving being creeped out, I like to do it from my couch and would probably be the very last person to go into an actual haunted house. I love playing with the Ouija board, and even though I’m a complete skeptic I won’t allow it in my own house. My favourite films to watch on a rainy day are horror films about the things that go bump in the night. I love the supernatural, the haunted, the creepy. ![]() |
