Summary
A contemporary Gothic from an author in the company of Kelly Link and Aimee Bender, Mr. Splitfoot tracks two women in two times as they march toward a mysterious reckoning.
Ruth and Nat are orphans packed into a house full of abandoned children run by a religious fanatic. To entertain their siblings, they channel the dead. Decades later Ruth's niece, Cora, finds herself accidentally pregnant. After years of absence, Aunt Ruth appears, mute and full of intention. She is on a mysterious mission, leading Cora on an odyssey across the entire state of New York on foot. Where is Ruth taking them? Where has she been? And who - or what - has she hidden in the woods at the end of the road?
In an ingeniously structured dual narrative, two separate timelines move toward the same point of crisis. Their merging will upend and reinvent the whole. A subversive ghost story that is carefully plotted and elegantly constructed, Mr. Splitfoot will set your heart racing and your brain churning. Mysteries abound, criminals roam free, utopian communities show their age, and the mundane world intrudes on the supernatural - and vice versa.

INCREDIBLE!
What a journey, I cried my eyes out at the end. This book needs to be made into a film so everyone can experience it, I really enjoyed this book.

Once more.
I've never been a fan of books that take you forward and back but this was very well written IMHO. I managed to follow what was going on, who was who and back to my usual forte of guessing/solving who and what the end would be less than a third of the way through! This in no way means it's not a great story because it is, the narration was enjoyable and I enjoyed it, even though I'd usually give up half way as I lose my consent ration and soon become lost, but not this time. That's a feat in itself lol. I may even listen to it again.
