I don’t typically read historical fiction or mysteries but this was good! I’d be curious to look into the symbolism and in depth analysis of this book because it felt like I just scratched the surface. I saw the ending coming, but was still surprised in a way by it. It reminded me a lot of Before We Were Yours but that may be because of the marsh land living.
