The Memory Trees by Kali Wallace
4.0
Sixteen year old Sorrow Lovegood returns to her family Orchard in Vermont after eight years away. Can she piece together her missing memories from her hazy childhood and remember the events that led up to and surrounding her sisters death?
This was a beautifully imaginative and hauntingly melancholy read, with a lot of loss and (aptly enough) sorrow. There were twists and turns throughout Sorrow's story, tying together past and present and delving through old family feuds and history.
The ending was bittersweet and I still feel like there is so much yet to explore with the matriarchal line of the Lovegood family- why did Rejoice Lovegood settle in Vermont, alone? Where did she come from? Why the emotive female names? Is the orchard actually magic? I feel like there was still a lot left unearthed, despite Sorrows story reaching it's conclusion.
