Me gustó mucho como está contada esta historia, ese ida y vuelta entre presente y pasado hace que el libro sea súper atrapante. Otra cosa que está muy bien lograda son las descripciones: nunca en mi vida estuve en un pantano y aún así se siente todo muy tangible.
También me gustó cómo muestra la ambivalencia de la relación entre padres e hijos, eso me pareció muy humano, incluso en el contexto tan extremo en el que crece la protagonista.
Me encantó.

Even though this is not a boring story in the least, I found myself feeling bored. The narrator's pace was too slow for my taste. I'd recommend actually reading The Marsh King's Daughter over listening to the audio version.

I enjoyed this unique thriller that was set in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Interesting, well developed characters with a setting that acted like a character itself.
I'm a sucker for any book set in the Upper Peninsula, but I do genuinely think this is a great thriller!
Karen Dionne has taken a sprinkle of Hans Christian Andersen’s tale and dressed it up with the tale of two voices. The two voices belong to the same character in two very different parts of her life. The collision of the two stages set forth by her very own father, the man she wants to but never will be able to forget. Read this they said, if you loved Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens. Both female protagonists heroines in my eyes, story similar but different. Enjoyable, fast-paced read. @lkn_literati
Tough to read at times but still impossible to put down. The dynamics between the family grasped at your heartstrings.
psychological suspense. kind of disturbing. demented father who kidnaps woman, has kid in marsh.
A couple of weeks ago, I found myself standing in a circle at a bar with 4 other organizers who love books, typing recommendations wildly into my notes app. This read is the first result of those recommendations which ended up in my TBR list at the library. Thank you, fellow book nerd organizers, for your fine advice.
While not necessarily a festive or cozy holiday read, I recommend this psychological thriller as a badass way to escape your dear, sweet, not at all obnoxious family over the holiday while you all spend a lot of quality time together. This book will give you a sometimes-needed break and will also make you grateful for the level of crazy your family is NOT. Because the family in this book is frikkin bonkers, and not in a fun and quirky way either.
The audiobook is good. I was only kidding on my previous post where I said the narrator should have an upper midwestern accent. That might have been distracting, and maybe too hilarious for the subject matter. (Sorry, Yoopers and Liknesses. The accent cracks me up.)
