The Cliffs by J. Courtney Sullivan
5.0
Nostalgia.
The impact of the past on the present.
Paying homage to the land.
I loved this novel, as evidenced by me carrying it everywhere and reading it during lunch breaks, rainstorms, and on Sunday mornings at the local coffee shop. I appreciated the questions of who gets to “own” land, the atrocities committed upon indigenous people, and the (hopeful) later acknowledgment of the theft and returning artifacts and ancestors back to where they belong.
This book was much more than I expected but so well done: multiple timelines, a slow reveal of how the pieces fit together, and a house and a cliff at the center of it all.
