I am absolutely in awe of this book. I seriously had to hold the book to my chest and just breathe for a moment after I was done reading it. The writing is superb and one of the best I have seen.
I was so immersed in the characters and all the action from them that I felt like I was there, in the marsh. I was there with every breath she took. I am aware that it is "only" a book, but I am telling you...I was there. If nothing else observing as only a reader like myself could do.
The pain the character endured all of her life was really just too much. I could not help but cry and then laugh and love with the main character. I often felt a need to hold her but all I could do was hold the book and hope she "felt" it.
She lacked friends and family. Yet, at least there were people who really did care. Again, I so wished I could have hugged her and often wished others would too when she needed it most. But then, she was cautious and it is understandable.
In the end, I felt relief and happiness for her.
And there are always secrets.
If I could, I would give this book much more than the 5 stars it is getting. It was that good and one that will certainly make one think about their own life and actions.
Disclosure: I purchased a copy of this book for my own collections. The review here is 100% my own opinions and may differ from yours. ~Michelle
