A Town Called Solace by Mary Lawson
4.0
4.5 I picked up A Town Called Solace totally on the recommendation of the What Should I Read Next podcast. And I enjoyed it so much more than I expected.
It follows three separate characters all linked by past and present tragedy in a tiny northern Ontario town of Solace. The characters are well developed and sympathetic and definitely imperfect, but that's what makes them seem real.
I had a few unanswered questions that made this slightly less than an 5 star read but I absolutely loved the ending. I definitely enjoyed the open ended but hopeful conclusion in spite of those lingering questions. Overall a great character-driven story.
