The Unraveling of Mercy Louis by Keija Parssinen

3.0

i wanted to like this book a lot. in the end though, i felt like it wasn't quite finished, not quite fully developed. the story was good enough, but the details led nowhere. so many questions left unanswered. it's fine to have questions unanswered if there is a reason to leave the reader wondering, but in this book, it felt unnecessary. maybe the author was trying to bring so many issues to light: sexism, environment, child abuse, religious manipulation...that the lines just didn't quite connect.
