a publié une critique de Heartwood par Amity Gaige

Beautifully written and hard to let go

A mesmerizing novel, where several voices and stories are connected with each other and the disappearance of a middle-aged nurse on the Appalachian Trail in Maine. It's about getting lost, finding oneself again and trying to survive. And also about motherhood (so, also getting lost and trying to survive basically). It has the tension of a thriller and the poetry of contemplative literature.
