CAVE OF SECRETS
Lynne Golodner @lynnegolodner
Thank you to the author for sending me a #gifted copy. These are my thoughts.
Told in multiple perspectives and multiple storylines, this book weaves the past and present together beautifully. Eve is spending a year abroad in Scotland to become an archivist. On a hike it begins to rain and she stumbles upon a cave and ducks in to stay dry. Inside she finds a leather bound journal with a letter inside. Later she stops in the local pub to get warm and grab a bite to eat. That pub belongs to Mac. They meet and have an intense connection. Little do they know that the letter Eve has just found was written by his ancestor.
In other parts of the world Eve’s father is making a choice to stay where he’s been comfortable or move to be with the man he loves.
This was an intriguing story. I loved all the Scottish lore and language. Eve and Mac were both such strong characters and their love story is special. And… lass, do they like their whisky 😹
The only part I could’ve left out was the magical realism. It was a jarring moment and the story would’ve been complete without it.
Out today! Check it out.
