Llega un día en que todo lo que creías que habías dejado atrás planta su tienda en medio de lo que aún tenías la esperanza de poder llamar mañana y anuncia <>.
Pues allá voy.
Pues allá voy.

Comes a day when everything you thought you had put behind you sets up its tent in the middle of what you were still hoping you could call tomorrow and yells out, “Right this way.”

Surprisingly poignant, I’m so used to contemporary authors doubling down on the sad and cruel; Laird left a small path out.

The kind of 4 star you give when it's pretty great but you love other books by the same author even more. That said this'll linger in my brain a good long while.

This was just a pretty odd book. There was a lot of viewpoint switching and time shifts, which was pretty confusing. I never fully made the connection between the characters in the prologue and anyone in the story itself. I knew the setting was shared, but I’m not sure if there’s more to it. I think the story had potency, but the way it was told was somewhat confusing and lost me at points.

Something like...3.5 maybe. Very different writing technique, and unlike anything I've read. That however caused some confusion in understanding just what was going on. Dream sequences were odd, and a bit much, very fanciful and obscure.
I'd read Hunt's NEVERHOME, and really liked it. In this book, a young woman becomes the wife of her mother's second cousin, on a pig farm in Kentucky where she finds the promises of a big manor home far from reality and where the two servant girls eventually take her into captivity. But all of this is only eventually understood through varying and different accounts.
You might want to take a peek preview before you decide to read. I liked it. I didn't love it.
