crabbygirl reviewed Our endless numbered days by Claire Fuller
Review of 'Our endless numbered days' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
it was not a spectacular book, but a good tale that pressed the reader to weave the 2 stories, past and present, back together. a good enough, and immediate enough, tale that I read in 2 days and reminded me of the pleasure and escape that a good book can bring. one thread of the book is her survivalist father, stealing her away into the woods at the age 8 where she's repeatedly told the world has come to an end. the other thread is nine years later, back in her mother's house with an 8 year old brother that was born in her absence. lots of good stuff to work with, and although the 'big reveals' were obvious along, it doesn't detract from the truth that all traumas need to be deal with in their own way.
