This is an excellent tale about a woman whose mind has a mind of its own. It is a story of triumph and survival, and tragedy. The tempo of the story is brisk. The plot is clever. There is enough suspense that this novel was a page-turner, for me; and few books are. Each day, I could not wait to get home to find out what would happen next in Mary Lochmore's life. I do recommend this book.
The voice of the narrator is matter-of-fact, terse, and straightforward. Nowhere have I read that this book is autobiographical; neither historically, nor allegorically. I do not presume such. Nevertheless, C. A. MacConnell's narrator does speak with a knowing voice. Similar to those narrators proffered by Sylvia Plath, Erich Maria Remarque, Gabriel Chevallier, and Tim O'Brien. Narrators by authors who were there.
