HTML:The sensational New York Times bestseller The Mill River Recluse reminds us that friendship, family, and love can come from the most unexpected places. Perfect for fans of Maeve Binchy.
From the outside, Mill River looks like any sleepy little Vermont town where everyone knows everyone and people never need to lock their doors. There are newcomers for whom this appeals, from police officer Kyle Hansen and his daughter Rowen, who are starting over after heartache, to Claudia Simon, the schoolteacher who is determined to reinvent herself.
But on closer inspection, there are those in Mill River??including a stealthy arsonist, a covetous nurse, and a pilfering priest??who have things they wish to hide. None more than the widow Mary McAllister, who for the past sixty years has secluded herself in her marble mansion overlooking the town. Most of the residents have never even seen the peculiar woman. Only the priest, Father O??Brien, knows the deep secrets that keep Mary isolated??and that, once revealed, will forever change the community.
Praise for The Mill River Recluse
??[Darcie] Chan??s sweet novel displays her talent. . . . A comforting book about the random acts of kindness that hold communities together.???Kirkus Reviews
I fall just short of 5 stars, since the description for 5 stars says "amazing" but 4.5 stars for sure. The characters are well developed, you feel like you live there. just enough mystery and action to keep you reading. a feel good book that almost had me crying in the end. ( )
