Arrowood: A Novel
by Laura McHugh
Arrowood, A Page Turner (8/20/2016)
Arrowood is a very good book. A page turner. We know our memories are flawed and Arden is burdened from when she's 8 with the loss of her beloved twin sisters. She felt the answers to finding herself (and her sisters?) are elusive and struggled with the slow disappointment of realizing she may not find the answers she wants. Her mother is a piece of work to say the least. Healing yourself from guilt and inadequacy and the inability to move ahead is tough. I liked Arden.
