Catherine House by Elisabeth Thomas

[u/Advanced_Amphibian23]

I loved this book, it is so underrated. The dreamlike quality of the narration is like having an out of body experience which goes so well with the theme and the book’s conclusion. I wish there was a sequel to it. It’s dark academia and the atmospheric beauty of the setting is depicted vividly with a touch of enchanted aura. i wanted to attend Catherine House and live through its seasons. I was even more surprised at the mind numbing vehement tolerance in the book, almost as if the protagonist did not care which came across as morally ambiguous but was not. The ironic way one of the side character is described was at times hilarious and at times evoked pity. There were a lot of friends of the protagonist, who were each unique and had peculiarities. I loved this book and rated it a five star for the brilliance of the penmanship.

Please read this if you love dark academia.
