'We Have Always Lived In The Castle' follows the story of 18 year old narrator Mary Katherine Blackwood, or short Merricat and her sister Constance, who live in the old Blackwood family estate together with their uncle Julian. They lead quite the isolated life up in their little 'castle' on the hill above the village, not really ever leaving the house and its grounds apart from once a week when the necessary but ever so dreaded food shop brings Merricat to the village.
"Beautiful, rich, mysterious... the Roanoke girls seem to have it all. But there's a dark truth about them that's never spoken. Every girl either runs away, or dies."
