The Rattled Bones by S.M. Parker
3.0
3 Stars - I Liked It
I read this book in a day, so clearly the pacing was at least engaging and kept me reading. I wouldn’t say this is an altogether unique or “new” story, however it was a good afternoon distraction from the real world. With themes of inequality, race, family, and love - this book did a good job of creating a realistic story with hints of supernatural flair. Most interesting was the true story woven into this book, of a small island in Maine whose people were forced out of their homes in a shameful display of human atrocity. This book helped educate me to a real life tragedy, and in doing so I’d like to think those people stay alive in some small way.
