The 100 Year Miracle
The 100 Year Miracle: A Novel | Ashley Ream
16 posts | 10 read | 12 to read
"Ashley Ream has an absolutely astounding voiceshe is one of the most compelling, sharpest writers working today. The 100 Year Miracle is already one of my favorite novels of 2016." Gillian Flynn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Gone Girl Once a century, for only six days, the bay around a small Washington island glows like a water-bound aurora. Dr. Rachel Bell, a scientist studying the 100-Year Miracle and the tiny sea creatures that create it, knows a secret about the phenomenon that inspired the regions myths and folklore: the rare green water may contain a power that could save Rachel's own life (and change the world). When Rachel connects with Harry and Tilda, a divorced couple cohabiting once again as Harry enters the last stages of a debilitating disease, Harry is pulled into Rachel's obsession and hope as they both grasp at this once-in-a-lifetime chance to save themselves. But the Miracle does things to people. Strange and mysterious things. And as these things begin to happen, Rachel has only six days to uncover and control the Miracle's secrets before the waters go dark for another hundred years.

Mehso-so

This is a darkly atmospheric tale about a natural phenomenon that changes the lives of a young scientist and a formerly married couple. While the prose was rich, the second half was strangely paced and eroded my suspension of disbelief. The flawed characters' growth was undermined by the jarring ending. I did enjoy the themes of the story, but it wasn't a fulfilling journey. 3/5 stars.

Most people, Rachel knew, didn‘t want you to talk about your pain, not unless it was temporary like a twisted ankle or hitting your thumb with a hammer. If you did not hold up your end of the bargain and get better, things fell apart quickly. People would avoid you. It was easier to keep hidden, and she felt sorry for Harry because he could not hide.

This was recommended by a friend and now I wish I had read it sooner. It wasn't quite what I was expecting. I thought it would have more romance but I should have known better when Gillian Flynn blurbed it. It's an enjoyable, fast read with some science-y stuff and bioethics thrown in for good measure.

This fills two reading challenge slots: recommended by for the #litsyreadingchallenge and the letter R for #litsyAtoZ @BookishMarginalia

I devoured this one in about 24 hours. A bit ecological, a lot ethical, its a good plot, and the characters' choices add to the mounting tension. Really good read.

The writing is very well done, I thought. However, while the story is compelling, I didn't connect with any of the characters and that makes it hard for me to really enjoy a story. But overall, this was an engaging read. Rating: 🌝🌝🌝🌛
