kristy_rose 's review for:
Little Eve
by Catriona Ward
This book was a pretty gripping exploration of how trauma and abuse, especially in childhood and perpetrated by those who are supposed to care for us, deeply alters the psyche and sense of self. It is moody, and atmospheric, and heavily influenced by its setting, which I thought worked well for the overall story.
My only trouble with this book is that there are a lot of characters, lore plot points, and details to keep track of as the story is unraveling. This is obviously important for a fleshed out novel, but I found it a little difficult to keep track of what was going on at some points in the book. It all came together in the end, even if I had to re-read a couple of pages here and there.
Overall, if you’re a Catriona Ward fan, you will likely enjoy this book - though it might not pack the same punch as some of her other books for you. This one is very atmospheric and runs at a relatively slow place, but is a compelling read nonetheless.
