Marrow Island by Alexis M. Smith

3.0

---

Takes place on a fictional island chain located in the Pacific Northwest; reminisce of the San Juan’s. The imagery was spot on and that’s what initially drew me to this novel. Lucie the main character grew up on Orwell Island, while her father worked at a refinery on Marrow Island but after a terrible earthquake causes destruction and death she leaves that life behind. She heads back as an adult to Orwell after inheriting her family home and then to Marrow to visit an old friend living with a colony rehabilitating the island. Secrets are uncovered and it will take all the strength Lucie has not to lose herself.
