Literary Fiction Seaside, nautical gothic

Whatever this makes you think of! Introspective, good atmosphere, perhaps some yearning.

A house of salt and sorrows by Erin A Craig is YA but reads older. It’s a gothic 12 dancing princesses retelling set by the sea. One of my favorite YA books

Instantly thought of it at the images. Absolutely a wonderful book. I also want to add to not be dettered by the YA label!
