Little Girls Tell Tales by Rachel Bennett Book Review


Not my picture.

Published May 2020.

This is a book I downloaded from NetGalley.

As a young girl, Rosalie was wandering through the curraghs and stumbled upon some bones ... what she thought was a body. Because she had been away from home too long, her mom panicked and had a lot of folks out looking for her. When Rosalie was found, no one believed her story ... but no one apparently forgot either. In her early twenties, after not seeing her brother (Dillon) for five or six years, he returned home with a new friend, Cora ... someone he met through an online forum ... the same forum where he published Rosalie's story (unbeknownst to her). Cora was looking for her missing sister, Sabine, long since missing with no clues as to her whereabouts. Did Rosalie find Sabine all those many years ago? Some odd things occurred while Cora and Dillon were camping near the curraghs. Was someone trying to cover something up and scare them off from their search?

While Ms. Bennett's writing style is different for me, she weaves an interesting tale with some underlying family conflict, Rosalie learning to be okay without her wife (Beth), and perhaps a hint of romance between Rosalie and Cora.
