I Am Margaret Moore by Hannah Capin
4.0
“I am a mad girl who walks the lakeshore in mud up to my ankles. I swim in moonlight; I float above that deepest place and do not fear the things beneath. I wake when the sun comes up and the cannon fires and I am sleeping here on the water, and the mist is all around me, and everything is still, and I am Medusa and all the world is stone.”
I absolutely LOVED Foul is Fair (seriously everyone needs to read it if you love a good Macbeth retelling and lots of blood and revenge). Now, with I Am Margaret Moore, Hannah Capin continues to grow with her stories and the tales she spins. I Am Margaret Moore is poetic, lyrical, haunting and held deep with sorrow but it’s also more than that; it’s about sisterhood between best friends who’d do anything for each other.
I’ll repeat what others have said in that this book, especially the writing, will not be for everyone but the prose just so happens to be my kind of favorite. It’s like reading a fever-dream. After I finished reading, I felt like I was floating. I can’t wait to see what Hannah Capin has in store for us next.
