The Oyster Diver's Secret by Caroline Säfstrand
4.0

*I received a copy of this book on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for this opportunity*

Books aren't just stories, you know. They are lessons. About life. About ourselves.

Told in alternating viewpoints, THE OYSTER DIVER'S SECRET is a book focused on finding life's happiness and the puzzle pieces that make you complete. Slow and thoughtful, Säfstrand built a beautiful story set in a town so vivid I could practically taste the brine of the ocean and characters with complex interpersonal relations. This is a story for reflection and thought, not fast-paced plots and twist endings-- it should be savored, like a good wine or good friend.
