I’ve had an eARC of North Woods that I started reading when I first received it but then just never got into it. I was without an ebook from the library recently and so was in need of something for my bedtime reading and decided to give North Woods another try. This time, I was hooked from the onset, and found myself reading it whenever I got a few spare minutes. I love interconnected stories like this, where there’s something central that ties the book together. In this case, it’s a house in rural Massachusetts through pre-colonial days to the present. (With a brief, pleasantly surprising excursion to Nova Scotia). I’m glad I gave North Woods another shot and didn’t permanently abandon it to the DNF pile.
