Bell Weather: A Novel | Dennis Mahoney
8 posts | 6 read | 6 to read
A captivating adventure set in a fantastical world where a young woman must uncover the secrets of her past while confronting the present dangers of a magical wilderness When Tom Orange rescues a mysterious young woman from the flooded Antler River, he senses that their fates will deeply intertwine. At first, she claims to remember nothing, and rumor animates Root-an isolated settlement in the strange wilderness of colonial Floria. Benjamin Knox, the town doctor, attends to her recovery and learns her name is Molly. As the town inspects its spirited new inhabitant, she encounters a world teeming with wonders and oddities. She also hears of the Maimers, masked thieves who terrorize the surrounding woods. As dark forces encircle the town, the truth of Molly's past spills into the present: a desperate voyage; a genius brother; a tragedy she hasn't fully escaped. Molly and Tom must then decide between surviving apart or risking everything together. Dennis Mahoney's Bell Weather is an otherworldly and kinetic story that blends history and fantasy, mystery and adventure to mesmerizing effect.

I love books that cover a huge span of years, especially when it follows members of one family. While this book primarily followed the daughter in the family, we also get to see bits and pieces of her father‘s and brother‘s lives, as well as some of the other people she encounters. This story was sad, hopeful, unsettling, and just a little bit romantic, and I was invested from beginning to end.

2. I loved the book Bell Weather by Dennis Mahoney, it has a gorgeous cover with trees.

It's not very often I give a book five stars, but this one is getting 5 stars.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This has been on my TBR for quite awhile and I'm so glad I finally got to it. It starts with Tom saving a woman from raging flood waters, she then claims to have no memory of who she is or how she got there. Its a good slow burn mystery. Also the story of the townspeople of the setting of Floria is great, and that nature seems to be magic in this place. #Backlist.

I went into this book thinking it was going to be a fantasy novel, but the fantasy elements were used pretty inconsistently. It felt more like I was reading a historical fiction, which isn't bad, just not what I expected. For the full review, go to www.campfirereads.com (link also in profile)

The stack just keeps getting larger. I'm actually worried it's going to fall over. #TBRTuesday
