Customer Reviews
Solace
I loved this book but was left wanting more .
Beautifully written
Engaging storytelling. Beautifully descriptive of wild northern Canada. The only downside was that it ended so abruptly, I would have loved to keep reading about what happened to the characters. Will read more of her books.
A town called Solace - Mary Lawson
One of the best books I have read for quite some time. I feel sad that I have come to the end of it. It was uplifting , empathetic but still very grounded. Can't wait to read more of Her books.
