Title: Literary "mystery" with a twist
Review: Mary DeMuth's debut fiction novel finds nine-year-old Mara scuttled from household to household, never sure of her parentage and never feeling like she belongs. Early on in the book, Mara is confronted and violated by an older bully who continues throughout the book to stalk and abuse her.DeMuth delicately yet deliberately deals with a difficult topic and I applaud her. I've read too many books that focused on the abuse and not the story. She intertwines them beautifully.Watching the Tree Limbs is written with grace. I confess I'm a skimmer at times...but not through this book. DeMuth's phrases and word choices invited me into a new world of wonder via the eyes of a nine-year-old. All I can say is "Wow!"This is a great read, filled with rhythmic writing and haunting images. I've not read anything DeMuth has done in the past, but if this is the quality of her writing, I'll look for her fiction in the future!
