I bought this book when it first came out in 2011. It was one of those books that I kept putting off for another day. Having read it now, I only wish that I had read it sooner. A cracking debut novel, beautifully written, well paced with some truly shocking moments. I will be seeking out more from Jenny Wingfield.
This book starts off a little slow and then bam it is a great Southern family story. There is a character in this book that you hate to the core and a girl who makes the story one to remember. Her name is Swan Lake and she is a heroine! Loved this book, read it🙌🏼
"I think maybe miracles are something everybody find out about for themselves."
This book is full of breathtaking twists and turns that keep the reader fully engaged from start to finish. It's the perfect amount of disturbing and thrilling to keep the senses locked and focused.
Shocking surprises throughout this entire book! Very graphic abuse similar to "A child called it". Very fast read and keeps you guessing all the way through. It is set in the 1950s.
#booktober #unforgettablewomen - Swan Lake, her mother Willadee, and grandmother Calla. This book lives on my favorites shelf!
You want a #villain that will keep your stomach in knots and your whole body taut as a wire every time he steps onto the page or there is a hint that he will step onto the page? That would be Ras Ballenger. He rightfully owns the name "Satan's Stepson". Wingfield is brilliant since she made me tense up with FEAR every time Ballenger came around. #somethingforsept
