spoodlyphoenix 's review for:
A Short Walk Through a Wide World
by Douglas Westerbeke
As always, thank you to the author and NetGalley for this ARC!
Wow, this was such an interesting read! I'm not normally one for historical fiction or magical realism, but I had been immediately drawn in by the blurb for this book, and I'm glad I requested a copy.
Aubry's tale is wonderfully told, giving us glimpses all over the world and through pieces of time. We see how she interacts with others, how they view her mysterious illness, and finally, how things reach a beautiful conclusion. Given the story that was told, the time period chosen was perfect. I don't think it could've been told properly if the author had tried setting this in modern times.
I also really enjoyed the jumps through different points of time, Aubry's story being revealed piece by piece! Definitely recommend readers to give this a try once published.
