kats05 's review for:

The Marsh King's Daughter by Karen Dionne
3.0

This was a compelling read!!! There were a few things that didn't add up to me (bits in the timeline, the fact that she was so close to her husband yet never told him about her background, the fact that she chose to live on her grandparents' property as if she wanted to be found etc), and the writing wasn't brilliant, but I could not stop listening to this!!! On a number of occasions, I could feel my heart rate quicken because I did get really quite scared on behalf of our narrator.
A frightful, gruesome story, but compared with what I'm reading right now ("My Absolute Darling" by Gabriel Tallent), it almost seems harmless..... I suppose, it's all relative!
