Last Winter by Carrie Mac
4.0
Gritty and real. Set in a small mountain town in BC during Avalanche season. Tackles the toll living with mental health issues can have on a family,especially during stressful life events. Some topics explored may not be to everyone's liking, but they enhance the story and make it incredibly realistic. The story alternates between Ruby's point of view, an 8 year old with selective mutism, and her mother's, a woman who struggles with self care and staying on her medication for bi-polar disorder.
It's broken down into three main parts. Before, where we get to know the family and they're closest family friends. During, which starts just a few hours before the Avalanche and covers the Avalanche itself. Followed by After, dealing with the grief and heartache of such staggering loss in a small community. I absolutely recommend this novel, and am looking forward to reading more by Carrie Mac.
