This novel put a pin on what became a life-long fascination with gothic fiction for me.
I first read it over forty years ago and it is hands-down the most memorable novel ever from my early reading diet.
Why is it so memorable? It hits all the high notes necessary for gripping suspense/mystery/romance in this genre and is laden with all the gothicky feels.

From Mary's list on vintage gothic suspense by iconic authors.
