wanda12 's review for:

The Marsh King's Daughter by Karen Dionne
3.0

Well-written, gripping tale of a young woman who is the product of an abduction. Her mother was kidnapped as a teenager by her father and she was help captive until she was 12 years-old.

The protagonist is a strong woman trying to overcome her childhood and raise her own children when her life is shattered. Her father has escaped from prison and she knows she is the only one with the skills to protect her and her family.

I gave to 3 stars not because of the writing, but because I felt sad to know I was entertained by a book with so much evil and death.
