Kissing someone - someone you want to kiss, I mean - is like living inside the best song you ever heard. It's the same feeling.

The God of the Woods by Liz Moore

“Her voice, it seemed, had been continuously decrescendoing since birth, so that by age twelve, she could scarcely be heard.”

[libinih28]

I just attract books about lonely women and mothers I think. even ones I don't even realize they're about women before I pick them up.

When she looks back to the island she sees only the pines, drawn closed like a curtain around the girl.

the only way to get any reading done is to give Oliver his own book. but he still takes my bookmark.

The God of the Woods: A Novel

By Liz Moore.

[whatcha-reading-today]

Long Bright River | Liz Moore

I picked this up from my library because Moore's new novel, The God of the Woods, has a several months long waitlist. And I'm glad I did, this is a great thriller with two sisters who live deeply different lives but one goes missing around the time where a series of murders happen in town. I don't want to spoil anything because the way the murders occur wrap so poetically with the turmoil between our two sisters.

I recommend for folks looking for a longer thriller (the hardcover is almost 500 pages), and don't mind a slightly unusual writing style. For example, there are no quotation marks around speech. Instead it will be written like:

--I don't know. I said. But instead let's look outside.

--She glared and then said, I don't know if that's the best option.

It takes a bit of work to understand the style but once you do it's worth it.

From the wall, she watched them quietly, fondly, recalling what it was like to be in this moment of life that was like a breath before speech, a last sweet pause before some great unveiling.
