Wow what an ending!! Such a chilling story about sibling rivalry and revenge. It has a fairy tale like quality since her greed of those beautiful clothes resulted in her death. I feel bad for the husband for having lost two wives now... guess that family was cursed 😬
Yes, James was a master at evoking a shudder at the end. I love the way he just allows the supernatural to simply seep into the natural world. Ughh! Icy fingers on the spine! I think his mention of the middle sister, who lived only a few weeks, seems to open the door, at least in hindsight. And then the name, Perdita, translates to “loss” or “lost.“
