Tin Camp Road by Ellen Airgood
3.0
Laurel is a single mother to ten-year-old Sky. Laurel and Skye live in the isolated region of Michigan’s upper peninsula on the shoreline of Lake Superior. Laurel has made the best of living in poverty and struggling with limited resources to move them forward. When an unexpected and devastating incident occurs, Laurel has to reassess the life she has made for her daughter.
This is a slower-paced character-driven story. I love learning about people who reside in locations that are different from mine. Ellen cultivates a vivid landscape of Michigan’s upper peninsula region, especially the harsh winters. I adored the close mother-daughter relationship that Laurel and Skye have. Laurel was such an admirable character, she is fiercely independent, hard-working but yet she had a soft and feminine side to her.
The only issue I had was the middle seemed to drag on quite a bit but overall I enjoyed reading Tin Camp Road. I would recommend this one for readers looking for a lighter, character-driven, novel. This book would be perfect for fans of women's fiction that center around a strong mother and daughter relationship.
