pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A story of knowing what you don‘t want, rather than what you do. Three generations of tough, somewhat shunned, women, all unique in their strengths. Dorothy, aka Donkey, steals the show. I loved the symbolism of the rattler. An ouroboros; the circle of life. I picked this up after hearing Campbell speak at Southern Festival of Books. She‘s so sharp and funny! Meeting her was an absolute pleasure. Will def read more from her!
Campbell is a new-to-me author, and hearing her speak was such a treat, I had to buy her newest and meet her. She‘s a whole vibe and I love it!
Pic of a Michigan swamp on a recent #audiowalk as I listened to this deeply satisfying novel. Healer Herminie Zook, her precocious granddaughter, questionable fathers, and complicated independent women connect with the land and each other in the Great Missasauga Swamp. Loved it. Plenty of #chilling moments. #WickedWhispers #MittenLitten @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

bailedI gave it a good shot but just didn‘t really care about the characters and no mystery to keep me hanging on. Anyone else?
pickMy thoughts here were all over the place. I wasn‘t keenly interested in the characters until Donkey (sweet reason for her name) took center stage at chapter 3. I thought the story might veer to a right-wing heavy-handed story on abortion which I wasn‘t interested in. It didn‘t; however, the concern impacted my experience. I got all the way to the end before realizing I really liked this and all its complicated relationships.
New books at our library. I‘m partial to the cover art of The Waters!
