A review by bookalong
The Blue Moth Motel by Olivia Robinson
4.0
A wonderfully radiant novel about siblings, family, grief, and home.
I loved this one! About two sisters, Norah and Ingrid who come from an eccentric childhood raised in the Blue Moth Motel in PEI owned by their grandmother Ada and raised by their queer mother Laurel and her partner. When their grandmother passes away the Blue Moth (named after the mythical blue moths that come at a certain time of year) falls to Laurel to run and Ingrid moves away to pursue a singing career. The story flows back and forth between life in the Blue Moth and Ingrid's life in England.
This was such an evocative read! I loved the family dynamics so much and all the atmospheric elements, and the Canadian setting of course.
Thank you to @breakwaterbooks for sending me this book opinions are my own.
