The Wilderwomen
by Ruth Emmie Lang
Five years ago, Finn and Zadie's mother left their house and never came back. The two sisters handled the trauma and view their mother in very different ways, and their lives have taken divergent paths. But the Wilder women are different from most women, each has special "abilities." Zadie has verbal premonitions that, unfortunately, are not always particularly clear in their meaning. Finn experiences "echoes," experiencing the actual memories of others as if she was that person, which naturally can be both terrifying and extraordinarily enlightening. When Finn realizes she may have clues and possible echoes of her mother, however, she convinces her sister to set off on a quest to find her, or find out what happened to her, and maybe find each other and themselves in the process.
I found this extremely original and enjoyable. The sister dynamic was well-drawn and believable, especially the differing views of their mother and how they've dealt with it over the years. The action is smoothly plotted and never drags, all the secondary characters are well-realized, and the special 'abilities" as presented appear perfectly plausible. Highly recommended.
My copy was a eARC given from NetGalley for an honest review.
