Until She Comes Home

I read and enjoyed "Bent Road" by this author so decided to move on to "Until She Comes Home". I enjoyed this as well. It's the story of the women who live on Alder Ave in Detroit. It's 1958 and neighbors knew and watched out for each other. There are still issues of color and then one of the women dissappear. There was alot of "50's era" in this novel that I enjoyed being taken back to. The bakesale, the fashion the close neighborhood feel. The suspense was built layer upon layer. I was flipping pages one right after the other. Ms. Roy gives her readers a genuine taste of haunting suspense. I kept on reading into the night until my fingers ached from holding the book so tight. No kidding.
