Armed with the imagined identity of a cowboy drifter, Dorrie finds kinship and refuge in the hilltop farm of the eccentric Tappen family. Yet the deep currents of Dorrie's life keep pulling her back toward her mother, toward the past that binds them, toward common ground. Luminous, alive with the secret knowledge of childhood, In Dark Water is a stunning novel of one family's trial and redemption.… (mere) |

Sometimes it is me in the air and she is far far below me, tiny, like a mouse, an ant, she is crawling, slowly, and sometimes, she is very very far above, silent then, but never still, she is flying then.

Blakeslee has a great ear for the speech patterns of the people of rural New York, and her depiction of the child at the center of the story seems pitch perfect to me. Simple without being simplistic, direct but not shallow. She also has a great sense of place. I really enjoy stories like this one which are grounded in a landscape that feels real, with buildings and trees and animals that are of a particular climate and way of life.
Sorry I left this on the shelf so long. Sometimes literary fiction puts me off and I need to get past it.
