Story
Now reduced to a schoolyard chant, the Hope family murders shocked the Maine coast one bloody night in 1929. While most people assume seventeen-year-old Lenora was responsible, the police were never able to prove it. Other than her denial after the killings, she has never spoken publicly about that night, nor has she set foot outside Hope’s End, the cliffside mansion where the massacre occurred.

All sorts of left turns
Reviewed: 09-14-24
The beginning wasn’t really grabbing me, but about an hour in, I couldn’t stop listening. I like to predict the next move, but in this book I was wrong on more than one point. Very surprising, great at holding my attention.

Story
Violette Toussaint is the caretaker at a cemetery in a small town in Bourgogne. Casual mourners, regular visitors, and sundry colleagues - gravediggers, groundskeepers, and a priest - visit her to warm themselves in her lodge, where laughter, companionship, and occasional tears mix with the coffee she offers them. Her life is lived to the rhythms of their funny, moving confidences. But her routine is disrupted by the arrival of the local police chief, who insists on scattering the ashes of his recently deceased mother on the gravesite of a complete stranger.

Compelling story

Some of the French words are mispronounced. Maybe even all. But the beauty of not speaking it, is that it doesn't bother me. The story itself is interesting. There are descriptions that made me tear up - especially since i am a parent of a young girl. I wanted to finish it and know what happened.

Quite gripping
Reviewed: 02-05-22
While some of the scenarios are not too realistic (super helpful & understanding spouses that don't get upset?) the book is quite good in showing that side of motherhood that's still somewhat taboo. Postpartum depression needs to be discussed & normalized so that those mothers can be who they thought they'd be. The voice actor performing Maryanne's part was exceptionally good.
I cried a bit, I chuckled. Overall, I'm glad I came across this title.

Heartbreaking

It is slow to get going. The first few chapters are okay. But later everything gets real & if you're a parent or a human with a heart, be ready to hurt. The narrator gives a very good performance.
