We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson: English covers

#we have always lived in the castle #shirley jackson #book covers #book #literature #I own the first one and I love it #almost gives you a claustrophobic feeling #but most of these slap so hard #I'm obsessed with the second one and Merricat wearing the table cloth #and the design of the Blackwood gate #the first on the third row was the original 1962 edition

We eat the year away. We eat the spring and the summer and the fall. We wait for something to grow and then we eat it.

people love to take "it's spring, you're young, you're lovely, you have a right to be happy. come back into the world" out of context and turn it into something beautiful, but constance doesn't want to come back and helen doesn't actually care about her or merricat, not really. what if the world isn't worth it? what if we can find a home outside of it, within a story that doesn't have a happy ending in anyone's eyes but our own? maybe it's spring, and we're young, and we're lovely, and we do have a right to be happy, and the world has always rejected us so we reject it right back. maybe that is how we triumph and it's not inspirational to the mrs. clarke's of the world, because it's a rebellion against their conformism and hypocrisy, but that doesn't make it tragic. it makes it ours

#anyway the besties who get it get it #we have always lived in the castle #merricat blackwood #constance blackwood #shirley jackson #*
