Close Your Eyes, Hold Hands by Chris Bohjalian

5.0

Chris Bohjalian's books are always thought provoking and so well written. Close You Eyes, Hold Hands takes the reader into a world where a nuclear plant experiences a meltdown. We are dropped into the life of a young teen who is left a homeless orphan. This is her story of survival.

I was not expecting the story that unfolded when I started this book but I enjoyed it immensely. The pages flew for me as I worried about Emily and how she was going to handle her life and the people, sometimes not good people, she encountered.

Close You Eyes, Hold Hands is another great read from a master storyteller. I'm just sorry that it took me so long to read it. I will definitely be reading more of his books.
