These Nameless Things by Shawn Smucker

5.0

“These Nameless Things” lives in the space between what's happened and what's yet to come, what's known and yet to be known and the grace and forgiveness that winds through it all.

Shawn Smucker slowly and naturally reveals the secrets of a mysterious village at the foot of a mountain through the first through the first part of the novel before launching into an adventure in the second half that changes the lives of the villagers forever.

The setting of the novel, particularly in the second half, has a dreamlike, ethereal feel, but it deals throughout with the grit and heartache of walking through grief, pain and forgiveness.

“These Nameless Things” is a beautiful, spellbinding book that I know I will read again.
