This was an oddly beautiful, dark, unique novel. I was totally not sure what I was reading (honestly even now that I’m done I’m not sure) but it was interesting and well written. Vera lives in a small village isolated from the rest of the world. Their only contact is deliveries for what they order from a man who is the only person to ever visit the village. The village has something else unique about it - mothers sometimes disappear in the middle of the night. Vera’s own mother disappeared when she was a young girl. When Vera was a teenager a visitor came which created a lot of excitement at first. As Vera enters adulthood and becomes a mother herself she starts to feel the disappearing come and while she doesn’t want to disappear she has to figure out what to do. I had read this author’s previous work and this book was equally as good but completely different. I can’t wait to see what else she comes up with.
