Elsewhere by Alexis Schaitkin

Thank you to Celadon Publishing for a netgalley!

I am going to keep this concise, as I feel too much would spoil the story. 

Vera lives in a town where mothers randomly disappear. No one knows why and after the mother disappears, others go in an clear all of her items out and burn any picture with her in it. This town has a supplier and that is the only outside person they know. Til Ruth comes. 

I found Vera to be a very subdued narrator, but her way of telling her own story was well done. The descriptions dragged at times, but the overall plot did not. I really wasn’t digging this book and then it came out of no where. The ending was really well done!
