A beautiful, life affirming novel

 

⭑⭑⭑⭑⭑  What a great find A Town Called Solace turned out to be. Mary Lawson's Solace, in rural Canada in the seventies, is a place of gentle reflection and healing for those troubled souls who make it their home. Each main character from young, inquisitive Clara to socially awkward Liam and, even, the loveliest neighbor with a secret Mrs. Orchard are broken in one way or another but looking for redemption and living in hope. I found the delicate nature of the story soothing and it warmed my soul to journey with these characters as they take their lives forward.

Heartbreaking but enriching, too, the sadness made the intertwining of their stories deeply emotive and proves that the people in your life are there for a reason. A Town Called Solace is a beautiful story and the first of many I hope to enjoy from this gifted author.
