A dual timeline story about two generations of women and how one’s life affects the other: located in Vermont in a farmhouse, there are secrets and deep sadness. JM does a beautiful job of describing and making you feel the emotions and atmosphere. Love and grief and heartbreaking consequences. It is bleak and chilling, and I enjoyed this book.
