The Mill River Recluse
The Mill River Recluse: A Novel | Darcie Chan
1 post | 13 read | 9 to read
The sensational New York Times bestseller The Mill River Recluse reminds us that friendship, family, and love can come from the most unexpected places. Perfect for fans of Maeve Binchy. From the outside, Mill River looks like any sleepy little Vermont town where everyone knows everyone and people never need to lock their doors. There are newcomers for whom this appeals, from police officer Kyle Hansen and his daughter Rowen, who are starting over after heartache, to Claudia Simon, the schoolteacher who is determined to reinvent herself. But on closer inspection, there are those in Mill River—including a stealthy arsonist, a covetous nurse, and a pilfering priest—who have things they wish to hide. None more than the widow Mary McAllister, who for the past sixty years has secluded herself in her marble mansion overlooking the town. Most of the residents have never even seen the peculiar woman. Only the priest, Father O’Brien, knows the deep secrets that keep Mary isolated—and that, once revealed, will forever change the community. Praise for The Mill River Recluse “[Darcie] Chan’s sweet novel displays her talent. . . . A comforting book about the random acts of kindness that hold communities together.”—Kirkus Reviews “A heartwarming story.”—Examiner.com “A real page-turner.”—IndieReader

#aprilbookshowers There are any number of books on my Kindle that fit today's prompt, but every time I look at the shelf closest to my reading chair, I #dontrememberbuyingrhis.

ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled It was pretty good! For me it was one of those impulse buys on some cheap ebook site that turned out to be a good read. 8y
