Looking Glass Sound by Catriona Ward

Looking Glass Sound by Catriona Ward was received directly from the publisher and I chose to review it. I had never read this author before but I am always willing to read authors I am unaware of. That being said, I was looking forward to a coming-of-age book taking place along an ocean setting, throw in bonus points for an 80's era tale. The story however had me confused, reeling as the time and people jump around, twisting and turning. At the end of the book, most everything I remembered, and some stuff I had forgotten about, all seemed to come together. I had read this was the authors least "horror" book, so I may give her another shot with an earlier book. If you, or someone you buy gifts for enjoys a coming of age in the 80's book, that you must pay attention to, give this book a read.
