My Review:
That was why her father feared and hated worldly things. Tamsin understood it all now. The world was much bigger than Rexburg. The world was nothing any man could control.
That was the funny part, the strange part: how they both just stayed. As if they expected that something would be different this month, this Sunday, this any-day-of-the-week. Nothing was ever different. Not here
Amen, the congregation answered - even Tamsin. There were no bars on the cage, but a good girl always stayed.
I highly recommend The Rise of Light – what appears to be straightforward at first develops nuance and takes many directions I was not expecting. It stays true to human nature and its unpredictability while delving into religion, abuse, and complicated family dynamics. I felt immersed in this community, sometimes to a terrifying degree, and while the narrative did feel like it dragged on at times, it painted a vivid picture (no pun intended).
