Five Roses | Alice Zorn
4 posts | 2 read | 3 to read
A sister. A baby. A man who watches from the trees. Fara and her husband buy a house with a disturbing history that reawakens memories of her own family tragedy. Maddy still lives in the house, once a hippie commune, where her daughter was kidnapped twenty-seven years ago. Rose grew up isolated with her mother in the backwoods north of Montreal. Now in the city, she questions the silence and deception that shaped her upbringing. Fara, Maddy, and Rose meet in Montreal s historic Pointe St-Charles, a rundown neighbourhood on the cusp of gentrification. Against a backdrop of abandonment, loss, and revitalization, the women must confront troubling secrets in order to rebuild their lives.Zorn deftly interweaves the rich yet fragile lives of three very different people into a story of strength and friendship.

A beautiful story about the intertwining lives of three women in Montreal. Montreal was where we called home for a few years so this book felt like a trip back. It‘s beautifully written and I thoroughly enjoyed it!

A young, naive girl with no social graces; an aging hippie whose baby daughter was kidnapped; a hospital operator whose sister committed suicide, all linked together in this beautifully realistic tale Review here: https://peddlerofdreams.wordpress.com/2016/05/17/book-review-five-roses-by-alice...
