The moment that stands out the most to me was the moment when the mother announced that she was taking a job in Madison & the girls decided to move with her, leaving the father alone on the farm. What was one of the most memorable moments of The Mourning Hours? I loved picturing the grandfather with his shot gun, kicking people off the property. What did you love best about The Mourning Hours? This book should have been read by someone familiar with the pronunciation or written with fictional names. I have other titles written by her on my Wish List and honestly might take them off.Īs a Wisconsin native, it was incredibly annoying how the narrator pronounced the town names. I was constantly waiting for evidence to surface or a clue to be found just to re-engage the listener/reader in the story.
How about anything? The book didn't really have any twists. What could Paula Treick DeBoard have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? If they were looking for a book that was told from an interesting perspective, that of a young girl, then this may be a good choice. It's incredibly predictable and really slow. It depends… If they were looking for a suspenseful thriller with great twists, I would absolutely NOT recommend this book. Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not? Tautly written and beautifully evocative, The Mourning Hours is a gripping portrayal of a family straining against extraordinary pressure, and a powerful tale of loyalty, betrayal, and forgiveness. Now, years later, a new tragedy forces Kirsten and her siblings to return home, where they must confront the devastating event that shifted the trajectory of their lives. No one knows what to believe - not even those closest to Johnny - but the event unhinges the quiet farming community and pins Kirsten's family beneath the crushing weight of suspicion. Kirsten was just nine years old when Stacy Lemke went missing, and the last person to see her alive was her boyfriend, Johnny - the high school wrestling star and Kirsten's older brother.
Kirsten Hammarstrom hasn't been home to her tiny corner of rural Wisconsin in years - not since the mysterious disappearance of a local teenage girl rocked the town and shattered her family.
A family's loyalty is put to the ultimate test in this haunting and unforgettable debut.
