A review by avora
Archipelago by Monique Roffey
4.0
I found this book because it was on the "New and Notable" table at the library. It was heavier than expected. I don't know why I was thinking it would be happier than it was, considering its summary. Maybe the front cover tricked me.
Anyway, if you read this, be prepared to run through a gamut of emotions. It's an adventure across the ocean and the human spirit. The characters work through grief, fear, delight, guilt, wonder, self-doubt, etc. Every few chapters my eyes threatened to well up and my heart was lodged in my throat.
The only thing I really didn't like was Roffey's use of dialogue. There are no quote marks anywhere.
