A captivating tale.
This is a slow burn and also heartbreaking when children are mistreated in such traumatic ways. I enjoy the dual perspectives and alternating timelines (1909 and 1990). Both are equally strong.
In 1909, two girls escaped their abusive stepfather and ran into the woods.
In 1990, a Park Ranger found bones in a cave.
Shelterwood is well researched. Wingate knows how to weave a compelling story with history I knew nothing about. I like the mystery but her characters in both timelines keep me flipping the pages. They are resilient and fierce. In the end, Wingate knows how to tie it all together and gives the reader a satisfying read.
Before We Were Yours remains my favorite novel. If you enjoyed Shelterwood and haven't read Before We Were Yours, please do yourself a favor and grab a copy!
Thank you Random House/Ballantine Books and Netgalley for the DRC.
