"The Island Child tells two stories: of the child who grew up watching births and betrayals, storms and secrets, and of the adult Oona, desperate to find a second chance, only to discover she can never completely escape. As the strands of Oona’s life come together, in blood and marriage and motherhood, she must accept the price we pay when we love what is never truly ours . . ."Trust me this premise and the subsequent writings will leave you breathless.
Oona's story is one of passion, intrigue, and raw utter emotions.
It's told from the basis of a child's viewpoint and expands into her adulthood which left her feeling more than a bit perplexed with rich Irish folklore intertwined.
As the story unfolds we learn Oona left more than just memories behind and now 20 yrs later those secrets are coming to fruition.
An inexplicable crime has occurred that will leave readers enraged, fearful, but also seeking justice for the wrongs.
Oona's daughter Joyce is a huge part of this story that engulfs readers every emotion as she's sadly having to endure struggles associated with the past.
It's such a moving, chilling, powerful story that I hope everyone can enjoy.
Thank you to Molly, the pub, NetGalley, and Amazon Kindle for this ARC in exchange for this honest review.
