2023 is the year I stop being so stingy with my star ratings.
This was a brilliant read, from start to finish.
Crow Lake, set us Northern Canada, is a narrative about a family, trauma and sacrifice.
As someone who doesn’t really have a lot of family, this book was still enthralling and I couldn’t put it down - and when I did I couldn’t stop thinking about it.
Told in part as a recollection and part modern day, the narrator Kate recounts the life of her and her four siblings after the sudden death of their parents and how they struggled to survive in an isolated and harsh environment.
It is about love, the sacrifices we make for those we love, and the cost they come at.
I was also thrilled to discover that Crow Lake is a real town.
Beautifully written and absolutely captivating. If you’re like me and you’ve been wanting to pick this one up for a while -do it now.
