The Barrowfields by Phillip Lewis
5.0
Henry grows up in a small town in the mountains. He lived with a family in a house that everybody believed to be haunted because the previous family was murdered and the case went unsolved. His father had grown up in the town and was an outsider because of his devotional love of reading.
I really enjoyed this story. I sadly had to put it down quite a few times in light of pressing matters around me. Those times were really hard for me. If I could have, I would have finished this book in one sitting. It was really amazing and emotionally charged. I loved watching Henry grow up and the experiences he had.
I didn't really dislike much about this book. Other than the typical typos in the book, there wasn't really anything wrong with it. I mean at first, I had a problem with Henry's detached sense of connection with his family and his hometown. That passed when I figured out why. I don't want to spoil the book, but I wish some things had been talked about a little more in the book as well.
I do fully recommend this book. I do feel it needs to be warned, this book will catch a person right in the feels and hold tight all through the book. It's emotionally charged. It's inspirational. It really makes you think about life and family dynamic. I'd like to get a physical copy to put on my shelf. Maybe even read it again!
