The Twelve Lives of Samuel Hawley by Hannah Tinti
5.0
I really enjoyed this book overall. My life was going through a bit of a tough time when I originally read it (nearly two years ago), and it was great at keeping me distracted from life and engaged in its plot and characters.
SYNOPSIS: A girl and her father travel from place to place, meeting new people and experiencing adventures, before settling into a new town and trying to fit in with their new community. Meanwhile, the reader is shown glimpses of her father's past, juxtaposed with his daughter's current coming-of-age, culminating in the convergence of old secrets with new hopes.
REVIEW: This story is an easy read that starts out slow but becomes somewhat more thrilling as it goes along. It was a good book for me to read during my winding-down from a long day; it's not overly emotional or violent but still compelling and interesting.
