Catriona Ward has a wonderful way with words, and her distinctive style suits these eccentric characters perfectly. Little Eve is a psychological Gothic horror story that will mess with your sense of time and perception.The synopsis sounded just as WTF as I would expect and the story itself didn't disappoint in that regard.
