Cormorant Lake by Faith Merino

5.0

The best book I read all of 2020! I got an advanced copy and stayed up all night solo parenting to finish it. And I can't wait for you all to read it in 2021. Merino's writing blew me away. It's sparse but full of imagery and I could see everyone and every scene and feel the pain, betrayal, loneliness, and awkwardness to my core. As well as the love and connections and tenderness and interests too. This is a story of women, of daughters, of what connects us and binds us and what doesn't. You need to read Cormorant Lake.
