[Following is a volunteer review of "Hattie Vavaseur" by M. Rebecca Wildsmith.]
Hattie Vavaseur is an admirable novel by M. Rebecca Wildsmith. It is a short story comprising 187 pages.
The story introduces the readers to Hattie, who is attending a funeral. Later Bertram, a chauffeur, takes her to an old mansion. During the drive, we pick up that Hattie doesn’t know where she is going and has lost her memories. The old mansion belongs to a mysterious and volatile master, whom Hattie finds difficulty to speak peacefully with.
The butler shows Hattie her room. Upon entering the room, Hattie straightaway goes to sleep. After sleeping she feels refreshed but gets shocked upon finding that the color of the room is pink. A color she hates and despises the most. Read the book to find out why Hattie hates the color pink.
Hattie, who has lost her memories, finds herself in front of unfamiliar people and acts like she recognizes them. Her pride does not allow her to talk about her memory loss and become a laughingstock. Vamelda, a psychic medium, helps Hattie solve the mystery related to a man’s death and recall her memories.
The story is best described as a supernatural mystery, sprinkled with humor and romance. It’s a story about life after death that served as the bridge to redemption. This supernatural mystery is a real page-turner. Themes of afterlife, memory loss, and truth make it a wholesome novel.
Hattie Vavaseur has some memorable characters. For me, Vamelda and Teddy, the horse stable boy, were the stars of the book. Vamelda, an occultist, is a psychic medium having a peculiar speaking manner and Teddy has a knack for pranks. I would not have it any other way without these delightful characters.
The writing style is descriptive, engrossing, and fascinating. Initially, there is an awkward and unsettling atmosphere enveloping the story. It all changes remarkably when the truth gets revealed.
I really enjoyed reading the book. There was never a dull moment, as there were many twists and turns to keep the readers glued to the book. There are clues hidden throughout the book, which, upon a reread, will become more obvious. Readers can read and reread the book without feeling tired.
I rate Hattie Vavaseur four out of four stars. I disliked nothing about the book. A professional has skillfully edited the book, as I did not find any errors while reading. I would recommend it to lovers of supernatural mysteries, readers interested in quirky characters besides the protagonist, and also those looking for a short but engrossing tale.
