The literary work entitled “What Happened at Hawthone House” follows the experiences of young girls residing in an orphanage as they engage in antagonistic behavior for the majority of the narrative. The latter portion of the novella is presented from an alternate perspective, revealing the events that transpired.
While the novella possesses the foundation for a captivating storyline, it falls short in fully delving into character development and addressing lingering inquiries. The final 40% lacks the necessary depth to bring the tale to a satisfying conclusion, leaving loose ends untied.
Readers are left to ponder the mysterious figure of the Matron and her intimidating presence, as well as the girls’ enigmatic past. The origins of their disruptive game and its repercussions on both past and potential visitors remain unexplored. The ultimate fate of Hawthone House and its occupants are also left open-ended.
Hadassah Shiradski, the author of this work, exhibits remarkable talent and potential. It is evident that once her craft reaches its full potential, her voice will resonate powerfully within the literary world.
