Tasked with building a stone wall around their isolated home, Leah and her siblings work their hands to the bone in order to appease a father who loves them very much. Leah Reynolds and her family are fighting to survive, living in a war zone and forced to protect themselves when no one else will. Brief and to the point, Ware is able to weave in some powerful messages as the pieces soon fall into place. Having not yet read any of Ruth Ware’s work, I thought this short story, part of the HUSH Collection, might be the ideal launching point.
It’s fast paced, action packed, psychological thriller short story! I’m looking forward to read the other ones of Hush series!īe sure to check for my review, first posted on Mystery and Suspense, as well as a number of other insightful comments by other reviewers. I found the story idea a little predictable but as a die hard fan of the author, I’m rounding up 3.5 star to 4! So guess what will happen? Of course there is a big twist and Great Alone readers already know it! Nope, don’t worry, it’s not related with PTSD or Vietnam syndrome.
So their father keep on building a wall to protect them even though it means they won’t make this winter and they may starve to death! If they don’t show enough performance to contribute the daily chores, he punish them with his slaps.īut this year of the father only does this to protect them because there is a dangerous, apocalyptic war out there, bombs blast, the outrageous uniformed men with weapons killed their mother and nobody can stop them if they learn where they’re hiding. Four children and father tried to survive against the apocalyptic war threat:maybe they may be under threat of something more thrilling!Īs I mentioned before this lovely father takes his kids, hiding in a house located at a desolated island, forcing them sharpen their farming, animal breeding, fishing skills. Is the synopsis familiar to you? Yes, this book has too many similarities take place a deserted island in the present time. OMG! Did you remember “Ernt”character from Kristin Hannah’s Great Alone, forcing them move to Alaska, a town in the middle of nowhere, building a big wall around their house to protect his family. I accomplished my reading challenge with this book and already read 250 books!🎈🥂🥳🤓🧐
