1978. When teenager Rina Pine is abandoned by her hippy mother in the isolated village of Sorrow Spring and forced to live with her elderly aunt, she quickly realises no one is coming to rescue her.

Rina finds herself trapped amidst a community of women beholden to the past, who believe in the protective powers of the local spring. When a child goes missing and a young mother is killed, she is drawn into the dark and sinister truth flowing through the sacred waters that give the village its name.

Rina is about to learn what it truly means to be a daughter of Sorrow Spring…

I loved this book, with its slow, claustrophobic build up of the intrigue and plot twists, which drew me in and kept my interest right to the end. The writing style was assured and the characters developed well as the story unfolded. I would have liked the narration to have allowed the writing to breathe more, so that I could enjoy the wonderful atmosphere and tension that had been created by the author.
