Not a happy moment in the book. Lots of triggers.

Bookwomble Sounds like a gruelling read 😮‍💨 4d

Ruthiella I often feel bludgeoned by books when too many bad things happen one after the other 4d

sblbooks I like the book, I believe I gave it four stars. However, I can totally understand where you're coming from. It was brutal. 4d

To the Bright Edge of the World | Eowyn Ivey

I‘m glad I didn‘t bail, almost did a few times.There are 5+ characters who are connected,2 timelines,the story is only told through diary entries,letters or newspaper articles. It‘s a bit boring at the beginning & Sophie&Allen‘s love declarations for one another are a bit too saccharine.I‘m also normally not a fantasy/magical realism fan but this worked for me because the “fantasy elements” were taken from

Anna40 Alaskan myth, fable or folklore(hybrid beings:part human,part animal). I found the characters (especially Sophie) well developed & each voice so deftly captured. The evocation of place was also outstanding. I enjoyed this very much & it helps that it‘s not too gloomy. So the saccharine in the end turned out to be a good thing. Our world is gloomy enough (edited) 7d
