Hinterland by L.M. BrownMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
What a story this was. The storyline has a lot of moving pieces to it, spanning over many years and multiple characters. When the mother of Nicholas’s daughter “disappears,” he takes care of his daughter, Kate, on his own with the help of an old childhood friend, Ina. As Kate grows older and has more questions about her mom and her mom’s whereabouts, Nicholas’s refusal to be honest with his daughter has her doing things that no parent wants to deal with!
This book is filled with all kinds of issues and emotions and had me thinking about it even after I was finished reading it. It speaks about incarceration, mental illness, single parents, cat fishing, death, runaway, love, parent-child relationships, just to name a few. But the way that Nicholas deals with all of it just makes me want to slap him and tell him to grow up, be the parent, and be there for your daughter.
Quick easy, sometimes disturbing read. Would definitely give it a go if you have the chance. The ending will make your jaw drop!
