Great
fictional book about a very famous non-fiction murder. Can anyone
ever get enough of Lizzie Borden stories. I think a good writer
could manage to put Lizzie Borden in every genre and quite possibly
come up with a hit novel. Hmmm, waiting on Lizzie in a Sci-Fi, or
Zombie novel... LOL
The
story is told from alternating points of view, from the famous
sisters Lizzie and Emma Borden, the maid, Bridgette and from 2 other
characters. The characters, locations, the sights, sounds, smells...
are vividly described and brought to life in this book. For a while
I thought, wow, this entire family is nothing but nut-jobs! Who
actually knows? Maybe they were!
The
book takes the reader back to 1892 and explores some very unusual
possibilities. The book also brings to [fictional] life some very
weird family dynamics.
There
were several phrases written in the book that I never could really
figure out what they meant. I wondered if these were common phrases
spoken in the late 1800's. It made it a little hard to follow at
times.
And …
was it just me? Did anyone else find it creepy weird how Lizzie was
ALWAYS putting other people's fingers and HAIR in her mouth and as
she described... “tasting them” < “tasting mother” .
This
book will keep you guessing all the way through.
