The amazing atmosphere of this book added such strength to the story.
It is well wrought and beautifully written. I loved that Willa knew her
place was to stay home. This is so rarely the case with YA protagonists.
The trope is usually a character who desperately wants out of the town
they live in. This was a welcome breath of fresh air.
Certain
passages were so poetic that you needed to stop and roll them around on
your tongue to fully appreciate them. I am definitely wanting to read
more from Saundra Mitchell. I appreciated the use of italics and how
they played into the end of the novel. The world building was truly some
of the best that I have read. I felt like I was in Maine even though I
have never been there before.
