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.
