Reviving the Hawthorn Sisters by Emily Carpenter

4.0

told from multiple pov with multiple timelines: dove, the grandmother from 1930-1934 and eve, the granddaughter in present time

it hooked me from the beginning. the story opens years after doves death, with eve shooting a promotional documentary for the re-opening of a psychiatric hospital, under her late grandmother’s foundation.
it’s clear that Dove was hiding a lot of secrets about her past and Eve is intent on uncovering them in order to hold her family together.

read if you enjoy slow burn, southern gothic mysteries with generational family drama and little sprinkles of the supernatural
