The Atlas of Untold Stories by Sara Brunsvold // Review

Lucie's Review: 

Chloe Vance plans a trip with her mother and sister in order to break the news that she has accepted a job overseas, the trip will take them on a literary adventure across the Midwest as they learn more about the lives of their literary heroes and themselves. 

A character and relationship driven read, about mothers, daughters, and sisters, who are all very different women. I loved how they travelled through the Midwest, delving into the lives of some of my favorite authors. It is a slow burn read, as in the beginning of the story all of the women have their guards up and as they travel along and things happen them slowly start to open up to each other. There is a lot of character growth, family drama and interaction. I liked how the story tackles complex familial relationships in a realistic way, showing that more often than not it is far from ideal. 

Overall, a well written read that explores the complex family dynamics, as they work towards a more honest and accepting relationship with each other. 

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
