The Human Origins of Beatrice Porter & Other Essential Ghosts by Soraya Palmer

5.0

I am just blown away! What an incredible debut - Palmer writes absolutely beautifully, and draws you into the story with expert prowess. The style of having interconnected stories from multiple viewpoints come together to create one narrative was skillfully done. I found myself very invested in the characters and their stories - the joy and sadness, the moments of love and of abuse, the complicated interlinking that makes up a family, makes up a person. I ended up in tears, very affected by this powerful book. I can't recommend it enough - one of the best things I've read this year.
