The Ebook Eaters by Sunyi Dean
I anticipated this ebook to principally happen on a sweeping property located on the Yorkshire moors, studying about these clans of bizarre individuals who take in data in addition to sustenance from phrases on the web page. Components of the ebook did happen on stated misty moors, however I didn’t anticipate an action-packed recreation of cat and mouse set on the streets of up to date England, the insidious machinations of clan rivalries, an underground insurrection, a mom making grotesque sacrifices for her son, and a sapphic romance besides.
Devon is born a ebook eater, and we meet her as an grownup. She has one youngster–a son born with very totally different, very taboo dietary wants (which is saying loads for individuals who eat books), making him an undesirable to her household and folks. Devon will do something to guard her child, even when it means going towards the one neighborhood she is aware of. Now, she’s on a mission with out the safety of residence and clan, uncovered to a world she is aware of little about, however was residence secure in any case? Drifting between previous and current, Devon reckons with a girlhood the place, whereas restricted, she was handled as particular and distinctive, and a coming of age that uncovered her household’s chilling expectations round womanhood.
The Ebook Eaters took me in so many various instructions and offered me with a compelling protagonist testing the bounds of her loyalties and greedy at company. I anticipated a quietly brooding story, however this was fairly the web page turner. I additionally beloved watching a relationship develop between full opposites Devon and Hester, the thriller girl who enters her life.
