Klickitat - Peter Rock
Book Synopsis: Vivian feels left behind when her older sister, Audra, runs away from home. She believes that Audra will return and pays careful attention to the clues around her. Then, inexplicably, writing begins to appear in a blank notebook. When Audra does come back for Vivian, she’s in the company of a strange man. The three of them run away together and practice wilderness survival. While Audra plans for the future, Vivian continues to gather evidence: Who is this mysterious man, and does he have any connection to the words appearing in her notebook? Klickitat is a haunting story, full of atmosphere and awakening, crafted by one of today's most startling literary talents.
Weirdly refreshing. Strange, yet enjoyable. Psycho and perfectly sane.
Those are the words that come to mind after sitting down and reading this book. Vivian and Audra are quite the dynamic duo and they are sisters. Wow, I just realized that those words can easily describe both of them as individuals. I'm pretty happy that I found this book all on my own without the help of Instagram to guide me to my next read.
I've never read any of Peter Rock's novels before, but the way he wrote this, I would most definitely read his other works. Vivian and Audra's parents are very accepting, almost to a point where it becomes a bit unrealistic, but I ignored that, and read on.
What I found was interesting. I actually liked this book, when I was dead set on not liking it, I guess I even surprised myself. By the way, it was the beautiful dust jacket and the hard cover combined that made me borrow this book.
Klickitat means beyond, and I believe that sums up the entire book.
