AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'K. M. Steele's Road to Tamarlin could be labeled both a mystery and a coming-of-age story, as, in a matter of hours, two teenage girls are chased out of a cave, their mother goes missing, and their father is implicated in the disappearance. One minute these young women play dress-up in their mother's clothing, and the next they worry about being assaulted by a stranger before they say goodnight to a parent for the last time. This novel does not so much use its pages to reveal the effects of grief or investigative concern but rather chronicles the cause and effect of incomplete stories, how with-holding information allows for suspicion to linger, anger to fester, and estrangement to become permanent.'
