In the Days of Rain by Rebecca Stott

5.0

So this book has taken me longer to read than it should have as I started it back in November and then Christmas and job interviews and all sorts happened. So started again a few days ago and whizzed through it. I thought it was a fascinating evocation of an all too close world we know so little of and also a chance for some of the silenced female stories within male dominated cults to be heard. Plus it’s a moving tale of a daughter and fathers complex relationship. I thought it was fantastic and wept at the end even though you know what the outcome is from the start.
