The Mapkeeper's Childern Review

The Mapkeeper's Children by Sarah McCoy

This book is like nothing I've ever read. I chose to read this book because of the back description and the other reviews; but just the first couple of chapters really brings you into the stories of both of the women. These women and the house have a long history that intertwines in more ways than one. 

The words that are used to bring the reader into the lives of these women is outstanding. I felt throughout the entire book that I was feeling what they were feeling and experiencing the same experiences. Sarah McCoy did a phenomenal job at bringing the story to life in a way that I didn't think would work when I first started but as the story progressed I sunk in and discovered all sorts of different feelings and emotions that I didn't think could be put with the characters. Like previously mentioned, the way in which the book is written is different. It required my to pay close attention to where and who I was reading about because the stories are so similar that they can be mistaken for one another at times. Overall, this was a book that was story that was different in many different ways and brought me to a place that I did not expect but was happy to be in. I would recommend this book to anyone who appreciates historical stories and different points of view throughout the story."I received this book from Blogging for Books for this review."
