I really liked this book a lot. It was not at all what I was expecting. Save for the beginning and the very end, this book was not a mystery/suspense at all. Instead it was a slow slow slowww burn (at times too slow) character study about the consequences of extreme trauma on a person and a community. You’ll need to suspend disbelief at times, but the characters are so raw and beautifully drawn that you forgive any narrative liberties the author takes. It took me a while to get through this one, but it was worth it.
