Review of The Still Small Voice
Picture a big family, like the one next door. You know, the kind that seems normal but has its fair share of mysteries. Imagine if you got a chance to peek behind the curtains and find out all the stuff they never talk about. That's what happens in the book The Still Small Voice by Brenda Stanley. In this book, there are surprises, heartbreaks, and, ultimately, a quest for acceptance and understanding, just like in real life. It's a story of rediscovering family ties, confronting the past, and finding a path toward healing.
Madison is the protagonist of this book, whose journey intertwines with the mysterious death of her friend Sara. After a very long time away from home, she came back following the call from her father, who was diagnosed with lung cancer and had some days to live. She came back home, remembering the memories from then. It was a moment of emotion when she saw her sick dad. It was in the course of this visit that Madison uncovered hidden photos and negatives; she uncovered the truth about Sara's death. For which Amelia has been convicted as the person who killed her. How would she be able to save Amelia with the truth she had? This book explores the complexities of relationships, the weight of guilt, and the pursuit of justice, offering a compelling narrative that keeps readers engaged from beginning to end.
The author weaves an engaging narrative that keeps the reader invested in the story. Through well-crafted descriptions and vivid imagery, she brings scenes to life, allowing readers to immerse themselves in the unfolding events. The book keeps you hooked with its mystery elements. For instance, Madison's quest to uncover hidden family secrets adds an element of suspense and curiosity, much like solving a puzzle; this was the main reason why this book wasn’t a boring read for me. The characters are crafted in a way that feels authentic. You might encounter personalities reminiscent of people you know, making the narrative more engaging and believable. It was indeed an outstanding and well-edited read.
At times, the novel may have pacing issues, where the narrative unfolds too slowly or, conversely, rushes through important events. This can affect the overall reading experience, making certain parts feel either overly prolonged or hurried. I also noticed two errors while reading. However, the dislikes are not sufficient to deduct any stars; therefore, I would rate this book five out of five stars. I would also recommend this book to those who enjoy crime thrillers and LGBTQ books.
