On an unnamed Scottish island, Mara and her family present to the reader a story about love, in its many forms. The Gloaming by @kirstylogan (named from the Scottish term for when the sun is setting, but darkness has not taken over the sky) is a bewitching tale of a family consumed by love, grief and the magic that draws one home. . The Gloaming is a fairytale, a reflection of human emotion, with water playing an important part. It gives and takes, offering the characters an emotional cleansing... a start over from their grief. . When Mara meets Pearl, a young woman with a rather large book collection, she undergoes a transformation of her own. She experiences a life away from the little island but she cannot help but be drawn back. . The book is a really beautiful tale of loving and grieving, making and unmaking, growth and decline. I really, really enjoyed this book... it is sweet and sad and has some seriously beautiful writing! . #thegloaming #kirstylogan #rainbowbooks #bookishrainbow #bluebooks #bookwormabroad #instabook #lovebooks #igreads #bookstagram #bookworm #bibliophile #bookish #bookgram #reading #booknerd #booknerdigans #fullybooked #book #bookgram #ausyabloggers #diversebooks #bookphoto #booksofinstagram #booklife
