A review by petersenftleben
A Map of the Known World by Lisa Ann Sandell

5.0

This was pretty great. It took a couple chapters to really get into the flow of the story, but the writing is fantastic. The author really has an eye for description, especially with the artistic sensibilities of Cora and Damien. There were a couple parts that were a bit angsty (mostly with respect to Damien's and Rachel's behavior), but I still cried a little at the end, even though I knew where it was going. It *could* have explored Cora's parents' reactions to Nate's death a bit more, but since this is her story and seen through her eyes, it didn't bother me too much.
