A book review by Madeline Soucie
The year
is 1918. World War One is raging in Europe and the Spanish Flu is killing by
storm. Mary Shelly Black (yes, named after the author of Frankenstein) has just
moved to San Diego to live with her aunt.
It is here
that she will be enveloped by the craze of spiritualism - something she doesn't
believe in despite the amount of people that flock to get their pictures taken
with dead loved ones.
Of course
that could very well change for Mary Shelly. After all, anything is possible.
This
historical fiction tells a tale of love, loss, and the fight to live during
World War One and the Spanish Flu and the craze of spiritualism that kept hopes
and spirits up in desperate times in a story you won't want to put down.
