A TOWN CALLED SOLACE by Mary Lawson
I recently picked up A TOWN CALLED SOLACE by Mary Lawson on my journey through an airport, but unlike my flight, Lawson’s plot offered pacing so steady that the ascent and descent were imperceptible. Centred around the convergence of two mysteries, the missing sixteen-year-old Rose and the mistake elderly Mrs. Orchard made decades before, this novel offers an examination of the vulnerabilities that make us human. Set in a fictional northern Ontario town, the character dynamics in A TOWN CALLED SOLACE will feel familiar to all raised in small rural towns. Readers should be aware that this novel discusses issues which may be sensitive, including death among the elderly and sexual assault.
