Publisher Description
From the author of Edgar Award finalist Amelia Anne is Dead and Gone comes a haunting story about a young girl returning to the coast that stole her mother.
“The delicious confusion between fantasy and madness finds perfect expression in Rosenfield’s hypnotic prose and upside-down chapter construction.”—Booklist, starred review
It is calling her . . . to come home.
After nine years spent suffocating in the arid expanse of the Midwest, far from the sea where her mother drowned, Callie Morgan and her father are returning to the coast. But something is calling to her from the river behind their house and from the ocean miles away. Just as Callie’s life begins to feel like her own, and as the potential for romance is blossoming, the intoxicating pull of the dark water seeps into her mind, filling her with doubt and revealing family secrets. Is it madness, or is there a voice, beckoning her to come to the sea?
Customer Reviews
Wow, what a waste of time!
This is one of the worst books I’ve read in a very long time. I had read one of her previous books and enjoyed it so I figured this one would be good as well. Boy was I wrong!! I’m still trying to figure out if the author suffered a mental break down or was possibly hit on the head with a coconut before/while writing this book. Those are the best explanations I can come up with for the absolute absurd and ridiculous story this book spins. If you’re thinking of buying it, save your money. It’s awful!!
