The Homecoming of Samuel Lake by Jenny Wingfield

The Homecoming of Samuel LakeThe Homecoming of Samuel Lake by Jenny Wingfield
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

A disappointing book. The story had great potential in the beginning but developed in a very scattered way. It went back and forth between angelic and demonic.

In the beginning, and sporadically throughout, it was very simple family life. I am not a fan of domestic violence, child abuse and animal abuse, and found the themes one dimensional and over simplified for the gravity of the situations.

A disappointing read.
