Reviews

""The Scottish Highlands-particularly Liddie and Marti's West Highland Way hike-become their own striking characters in Castoro's hands. The narrative is filled with vivid descriptions of the signs, stories, and scenes hikers encounter along the way, from lush pastures to lochs that stretch into the distance, mirroring the ups and downs of Liddie's grief as she moves from desolate to angry to buoyant in the moments she feels her husband's presence. Liddie's quest to find her footing often muddles the lines between phantoms, myth, and reality-a combination that evokes the aftershocks of grief and the myriad ways people deal with it."" ""...will resonate with readers who appreciate nature, mythology, and the power of self-love. Takeaway: Immersive foray into grief, nature, and self-love. Comparable Titles: Sigrid Nunez's The Friend, Donna Tartt's The Goldfinch."" - Booklife Reviews
