![]() ![]() ![]() They decide to try for a baby and this is when things get weird. Hutch, Rosemary’s friend warns them that the apartment block has bad karma, with a series of grisly events taking place there, but Rosemary and Guy do not heed his warning and move in anyway. Set in the 1960s, Rosemary and Guy Woodhouse are married, in love and excited to be starting life together in the famous Bramford apartment block. In fact, during the last quarter, I was the most stressed reading I’ve been in a long time! The suspense and sequence of events is so brilliantly done. The tension and drama is built up perfectly. Yes, I’ve seen the iconic movie starring Mia Farrow, so I knew the plot, but that didn’t take away from the enjoyment of reading this book. Opening sentence: Rosemary and Guy Woodhouse had signed a lease on a five-room apartment in a geometric white house on First Avenue when they received word, from a woman named Mrs Cortez, that a four-room apartment in the Bramford had become available. When I tell you this book made me miss my stop on the train, you’ll get an understanding of how engrossing it is! Also – a moment for the cover of the below edition – such good artwork! ![]() I fancied a scary read in the run up to Halloween, so turned to some classic horror with Rosemary’s Baby by Ira Levin. ![]()
