Many thanks to NetGalley and Random House for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest novel by Karen Thompson Walker. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 5 stars!
A year after her child is born, Jane suffers from a series of strange episodes and seeks out a psychiatrist. Then she goes missing, only to be found unconcious in what appears to be an episode of dissociative fugue. She has no memory of what happened when she awakes. As the psychiatrist delves deeper, he begins questioning everything.
Go into this one as blind as possible, so that you can explore all the magic slowly unfurling on these pages. It's beautifully written and drew me in right away, as the pieces of the puzzle slowly fit into place. That's what it felt like - just something slowly clicking in your mind, rather than a big in your face twist. It's that perfect mesh of reality and speculative mystery revolving around our memory, identity and love. A must read!
