sarabearian 's review for:
The Marsh King's Daughter
by Karen Dionne
Helena Pelletier grew up far from society, deep in the marsh lands of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula (UP.) She had never seen a television nor a telephone, and everything she learned about the outside world came from old National Geographic’s. She has learned how to live off the land from her father whose sociopathic personality teaches her to be just as dismissive of her mother as her father is. She also did not realize that her mother was kidnapped by her father when she was a teenager.
Now her father, who has been in prison for over thirty years, has escaped. Only Helena knows his hunting and tracking skills are legendary.
She knows the authorities will never find him --She knows the only one who can, is her.
With her own family in jeopardy, will Helena find him in time? How does she explain her bazaar past to her husband, and will she ever live a normal life?
The audio version of this novel will have you clinging to every word. It is a suspense filled story that provides an excellent description of what it means to “live off the land.” The author herself did just that, and her experience has managed to transfer beautifully to her writing. – Pam B.
