The Wailing Woman by Maria Lewis
2.0
Crushed my heart.
Initially going to be a 4 star as I was loving up until right before the end. Then a certain event ruined my enjoyment. But that is a totally personal preference on how I like my stories. I would not let that discourage you from reading it as it is well written and I suspect many will love it regardless. So what I liked:
Sadie & Tex – they were great both as individual characters and together. So young, and so painfully in love, a bit awkward, and sweet and so right for each other. I loved the relationship between Sadie and her sisters and their closeness. And how Tex’s childhood fascination with the sisters and affection for Sadie, coupled with his horror and guilt from what his father did left him open to questioning things. And then he learnt Auslan for her even though he was sent away at 12 and never even new if he would see her again (my heart!). I also enjoyed seeing Sadie come into her power after what was taken from her as a child too.
And it was great to check in with Casper, Kala, Sprinkle and Creeper.
Now for those of you that want to know what dropped it from a 4star to a 2 star
