Book Reviews of Rain Village
Book Review: Timeless & Masterful: Run away to the circus
Summary: 5 Stars
I read Carolyn Turgeon's 2nd novel, "Godmother" before reading this, and upon finishing it immediately got "Rain Village" at the library. Turgeon's writing is incendiary, unlike anything else I've ever read. Reading this book is like watching a vivid movie, and I hope someone will find this gem and make a film out of it, that's how good it was.
The book is split into 3 sections of Tessa's journey, and each one is an amazing tale. I won't go into the description of the story, as that can be found in the amazon description. The entire book centers and swirls around the character of Mary, who is enchanting and secretive, though you only get to know her thru Tessa's eyes, as well as the stories Tessa hears about her. I liked this book even more then "Godmother", though still found myself wanting just a little more story, as the ending seemed rushed. I also wanted more concrete answers to solidify what really happened with Mary and William.
"Rain Village" was everything you need in a great novel: tragic, heartbreaking, uplifting, romantic, inventive and whimsical. I definitely recommend it.
