⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5
🛑 Trigger Warnings: mentions of sexual assault on a minor/rape
A non-linear timeline, connecting sisters through time and sea. All-in-all, spanning centuries, 1800 through 2019. A wild tale, one that will have you reeling. A story of love, lies, coverups, fear, and abuse. Mary and Eliza, their parents… Jess and Lucy, their parents…
Your heart will soar, it will break; you will be sad, you will be angry. This one will take a while to get over. I certainly could appreciate the references to Hawthorne ~ I thought they were fitting and gave that weight – the heaviness – we SHOULD be feeling as we take it all in and try to process the real message here.
