The Cliffs

Meh. Skimmed the last 1/4 of the book.

Too meandering - was this historical fiction, a mystery, a history lesson, alcoholism across the generations, all of the above and more?

My first Reese’s Book Club pick that I disagreed with her pick!

I very much enjoyed this novel. J. Courntney Sullivan pulls so many themes into the story. It is difficult to give a simple synopsis. The main character Jane returns home to her home town after a fall from grace. She is drawn back to house that entranced her as a teenager. She is pulled into the history of the house while trying to work through her personal problems. The uncovering both the history and her issues makes for a fascinating story. If you enjoy ghost stories, mysteries, Native American history and women studies - you will enjoy this novel. I can see myself recommending this novel a lot this summer.
