"At night, my mother creaks. The house creaks along with her."
Teenage Aoileann has never left the island. Her silent, bed-bound mother is a wreckage, the survivor of a private disaster no one will speak about. Aoileann desperately wants a family, and when Sarah and her infant baby move to the island, Aoileann finds a focus for her relentless love. A horror story about being bound by the blood knot of family.
White makes clear in the afterword that the island is not based on her own experiences visiting Ireland's isles but the story begs the question of what horrors might occur in these small communities that have policed themselves for generations and what superstition and isolation could do to their minds.
To say I enjoyed this book would no doubt have you looking sideways at me and wondering what was wrong with me but from the opening page the story is captivating in how it presents the rawness of human nature. As it unfolds and the true horrors of Aoileann's life and actions come into full focus I was only drawn in further. There were moments when I was cringing as I was reading but still wanting to know more, to know what had happened in the past and where the story could possibly end up.
An amazing and disturbing read. Easily a five star review which you should approach with caution.… (altro)
