boygirlparty's review against another edition
i didn't find this compelling the way i found [b:The Unseen|31936168|The Unseen|Roy Jacobsen|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1473520085l/31936168._SX50_.jpg|25879684]. I read The Unseen during a time of covid when it felt familiar - the isolation, and the solace in homesteading. reading White Shadow also feels reflective of this era of covid, but in a much less fortunate way. the paranoia, the exhaustion, the relentlessness, the lack of control over one's own household or peace.
