Amy 
fiction, historical fiction
As with all Susanna Kearsley novels, Bellewether is told
from two different time periods. In the current day, Charley has just moved to
Long Island, NY to care for her newly-orphaned niece. She accepts a job at a historical site
undergoing renovations. Here, she
attempts to identify the family history of one of the former owners of the
house. The novel switches to the points of
view of two people from 1759 living at the house during the time period Charley
is researching.
This is the 10th novel I’ve read by this author
and it’s not one of my favorites. Unfortunately,
I did not find the historical storyline overly compelling. It was often slow-paced and I would get bored
and wish we could get back to the contemporary storyline. This is unusual for a Kearsley novel! However, I found the ending gratifying and
really enjoyed the ghost in the novel.
I
enjoyed these characters and was pulling for them.
