brandnewkindof 's review for:
The Marsh King's Daughter
by Karen Dionne
(I received a copy of this from the publisher via GoodReads' First Reads in exchange for an honest review.)
I'm still thinking about this more than two weeks after I read it, which I think speaks well for it. It's part thriller and part survivalist novel that I loved as a kid -- see Swiss Family Robinson, Hatchet, My Side of the Mountain -- and Dionne fuses them together really, really fabulously. A little predictable in the ending, but the getting there, both in the flashback chapters and the current time ones, was fascinatingly taut.
