5.0

This book was a book I had to reread after reading it once. I listened to it and was getting information but did not at all understand how each chapter was interconnecting so I decided to reread it after looking at some people's reviews of it, and understood a lot more of the book as a whole and enjoyed it a lot more 

The three points of view as follows is: 
August centred POV in the third person 
Grandfathers dictionary 
And a letter is being written by a reverend of the ex-missionary 

When it throws you into the story of August going back to her family home in massacre Plains to go to her grandfather's funeral. She hasn't been home since she was sent to Britain and stayed. She wants to find her grandfather's dictionary that he was seen writing before his death. But with that, she also has the memory of her sister in her mind as her sister went missing when she was a child. 

The more we learned, the more I was intrigued and was enjoying the journey of this book. 

I feel like this book won't be for everyone, as the POVs prove. But I am so glad I decided to reread it and understand how it all fitted together properly in the end. 

I am glad I started with this book for 2024 after my rereads of the Monk and Robot series
