A review by pgchuis
Everything Is Lies by Helen Callaghan
4.0
Sophia discovers her mother dead and her father near death in an apparent failed murder-suicide, but cannot believe this to be true. Then she discovers her mother has written a book about her time at a cult called Morningstar. Large parts of the narrative are the text of this book, so we switch between the perspective of Sophia in the present day and Nina in the past.
This was an intriguing read, although parts of Nina's story were hard to read, and at one point things looked increasingly hopeless for Sophia, and I feared that their voices would become indistinguishable in their defeat. Fortunately Sophia pulled herself together. There were some revelations that I thought were fairly obvious, but it was still a page-turner.
