Christelle Teissier cremedepapier — Not my usual type of book. In the dead of winter (yeah, Texas winter, not that cold but still post-holiday blah), I picked it up at B&N on a whim, I liked the description and it sounded like a film noir, I guess I mean book noir. Good for winter reading. Well, it definitely has that quality, but it is very, very deep. Aster writes about human mysteries, both crimes to be prevented or solved, and mysteries of human nature. Everyone who is watching or investigating someone else is also really going through some pretty big existential? changes. I can't nail what the right word is for it. It is very thought-provoking, and I first gave it 4 stars, but then dropped it to 3 because I was kind of relieved when I finished it. My stars reflect both how good I thought a book was and how much I liked it. So, because I didn't really click with the characters, and never got over a feeling of aloofness from them, I went with 3 stars.

Jodi Hautala-carlson jodicarlson — Being a huge fan of Kim Wilkins work, it was with great curiosity and excitement that I picked up this book, written under her non de plume, Kimberely Freeman, and marking another genre for this incredibly talented writer. I already know what a masterful storyteller Wilkins is and, writing as Freemen, she doesn't disappoint. This tale of two women from the same family, told across two different time periods and in two hemispheres is compelling, tragic, thrilling and uplifting. Commencing in 1995 and swiftly moving back in time to 1930s Scotland, before shifting to Australia, it tells of one woman's search for love, place and above all, self and against the backdrop of the Depression and looming war. Beattie Blaxland starts as a woman moulded by her upbringing and the prejudices of class, sex and race. However, instead of being a woman who 'things are done to' she becomes a woman 'who does things' and, in doing so, forges a remarkable path into the future - and not only her own. That decades later, her supremely talented granddaughter, prima ballerina Emma, benefits from her grandmother's trailblazing only to have her comfortable world fall apart, is at first heart-breaking. But Emma is imbued with the Blaxland spirit and, the more she learns, through an unexpected legacy, about her grandmother's past, the more she learns about herself. This book gallops along, taking the reader by the hand and heart, plunging you into great joy and sorrow, tragedy and triumph. I read it in one sitting (well, it was broken by a general anesthetic - really!), but I couldn't put it down and longed to find out what happened. It's a powerful and moving tale about longing, loss, family, place, community and the various forces that shape the self within these and how, if we look deep enough, we can find the strength to endure what at first seems unendurable. Simply a beautiful story that I cannot recommend highly enough.
