The Shore

by Sara Taylor

[lovelybookshelf]

This intergenerational family drama hops around through time at a steady clip, yet every single character -- even those we meet only briefly -- is developed enough that you get them; it’s like they are right in front of you. Each chapter has a slight short story kind of feel, and as soon as I came across the apocalyptic/future chapters and dashes of magical realism throughout, I was in reader’s heaven to the end!

How is it that I loved this book when I finished, but the more time that passes, I love it even more? Taylor’s storyline is complex and multilayered. It continues to spin around in my mind, revealing more and more of itself and causing me to come up with all sorts of theories.
