After the Eclipse: A Mother's Murder, a Daughter's Search by Sarah Perry
4.0
2018 Reading Challenge- Read a book about real events.
I obsessively read this over the course of 24 hours. It was enthralling and beautifully written (if such a horrible event can be even attached to the word 'beautiful'). This tells the true story of Sarah Perry, who finds her mother murdered in their home, and her life long search for truth and justice. It's a horrible story and worse than anything I could ever have to imagine. But it also tells the story of finding hope and kindness in the worst of experiences. So it really isn't all doom and gloom. Plus, it's a very interesting psychological look at how people deal with trauma, which was super intriguing and fascinating. Really well done all around.
