fifth book club book of the year! the perfect way to kick off fall!
i’m definitely a mystery girlie (agatha christie stans, rise up!) and it was so cool to read a more modern take on a thriller with themes relating to class and gender roles sprinkled throughout the story. let’s eat the rich, baby! they stole that land!
the different povs threw me at first but it’s a testament to liz moore’s writing that you feel connected to each character and are satisfied with their respective conclusions.
“something about her looks immortal, thinks judy: a spirit, an apparition, more god than child”
the woods, when respected, are a place of endless nurturing and forgiveness. a curtain closing on your old, tired world.
