Yesterday, Sally was living in a rambling farmstead with her teenage daughter Gigi. Now Sally is dead, murdered, and Gigi is alone in the world.
Overall I’m certainly coming down on the favourable side for Black Dog Summer. I definitely enjoyed it and would say it’s worth a read, but at the same time I don’t think it’s one that will stick in the mind for long. One to borrow for sure.
For a similar read, [[The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold]] is the obvious comparison that a lot of people have been making, as it deals with the similar theme of someone watching over their family after their death. You might also like [[Ordinary Hazards by Anna Bruno]].
