The house serves as both a physical and metaphorical prison, originally built as an instrument of control by a manipulative man over his wife. Now, generations later, it continues to hold its female inhabitants in its grip, representing the lasting impact of patriarchal control and the ways in which women's spaces can become sites of both confinement and resistance.

The blending of ghostly presences, angels, and saints with the women's own potential witchcraft creates a powerful narrative of feminine strength through the supernatural. These elements become tools for the protagonists to reclaim power in a world that has marginalized them, transforming their isolation into a source of formidable strength.

The novel explores how pain and suffering echo through generations, manifesting in both supernatural and psychological ways. The relationship between mother and daughter, bound by their shared history and their quest for justice, demonstrates how trauma can both divide and unite, leading to a complex exploration of what justice means for the powerless.
