Such an important story, based on actual historical sources. I loved the mix of fairy tale tropes and contemporary road trip. The writing was also gorgeous, I didn't want to stop reading. Some of the plot twists were pretty obvious and the message was a bit too spelled out for me (although thats a general thing in YA that annoys me) and I feel the banshee concept had more potentual than was in the end used, but all in all a very enjoyable read (also enraging, frustrating and sad, but that doesn't take away from the enjoyment).

This was a totally new genre/style for me and I was HOOKED. What a sad, hopeful, and genuinely twisting story line. Prepare to suspend your disbelief and lean into this unique but contemporary tale.  So much to unpack and I imagine there is even more to take away than I could in one read.

Ghosts and witchy lore blend with a mystery and history, illuminating the experiences of women in Ireland through the last 4 generations.
