A review by katielizroy
The House of Deep Water by Jeni McFarland
5.0
This is one of my absolute favorite books. It’s a beautiful discussion about humans and how we interact with each other but flows so easily. Its portrayal of small towns and their influence on residents kept reminding me of The Vanishing Half and even Where The Crawdads Sing.
Yes, there are a lot of characters but by the middle of the book I was keeping track of everyone and honestly, it’s not that important to remember who’s who to understand the message. The complexity of relationships emphasizes how interconnected everyone’s lives are, even in the real world.
It’s shocking this book isn’t on top of every “Books You Should Read List” right now.
