Well, A History of Wild Places was indeed a wild ride! The description sounded so intriguing that I began reading immediately upon receiving it from Book of the Month, which I haven’t done in years.
It’s probably a good idea to go into this novel without knowing too much about the plot, especially the frequent comparisons to an old movie that I won’t mention.🤐 Although, some mysteries about Pastoral were pretty obvious to me early on, others were decidedly not. The book ended ways I thought it would, but the conclusion and epilogue had some surprising and thought provoking elements.
Highly, highly recommend this one - this is the kind of thriller I’m here for! If you have read it, would you categorize it as such? It doesn’t seem to fit neatly into a particular genre, which works in it’s favor IMO.
Ernshaw’s writing is spine-tingling, evocative and emotionally resonant. I can’t wait to read more of her work and have already put The Wicked Deep on hold at the library!
