Blue Hour
by Sarah Schmidt
Kitty and Eleanor are mother and daughter. Their lives and relationship is shaped and twisted by life’s disappointments, limited options for women, trauma and grief. I missed them when I was away from this book. It’s hard to capture all that this book is. It’s chilling, it’s disturbing at times, it’s moving. It unravels and twists in really interesting ways that hold you to the page. The prose is often fractured and broken much like the relationships. When all hell breaks loose the prose opens up and there is a section of free-flowing spitfire sentences that is particularly effective. Schmidt is very good at creating mood and there is some beautiful nature writing here. BLUE HOUR held me tight and even when I wanted to would not let me look away. The darkness within this book washes over you but the shards of light are luminous.
