A dark, mysterious but hopeful story thick with language and magical realism. This book follows the Southern Gothic style in a state that is often in the middle - my home state of Kentucky. Set in a fictional town in the real county of Muhlenburg, Harrow focuses on the Southern Gothic question of how history scars, haunts, and curses those in the present, with the equally Southern Gothic magical, horror-like consequences. Harrow also asks a question that I think we should ask ourselves more: What is the truth? And does the truth depend on the truth-tellers? Unlike most Gothic pieces, however, this book also focuses on breaking generational trauma and what (and who) makes a home - making it a more enjoyable read, at least in my opinion.
