A review by martyfried
The Marsh King's Daughter by Karen Dionne

4.0

This was an interesting book, although the pace was mostly pretty slow, and probably boring to many. In my younger days, I did a lot of backpacking, living in the mountains, etc, and have always been a little bit interested in surviving out of doors. So, I probably paid more attention to the parts where she describes how things were done in detail. There was also a lot of words used to describe her love-hate relationship with her father. I can understand how a child might love this man, but as an adult, I find it hard to believe that she would still be conflicted about him. I think I might have shot him the first time I saw him, but then that's easy for me to say - I don't own a gun, and would have probably missed by a mile anyway. Then again, I don't think I ever would have gone after him in the first place.
