Saint X by Alexis Schaitkin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
What an amazing story. The characters are so rich and full. This centers around a wealthy, American family who are on a trip to a small, Caribbean island for a relaxing winter break vacation. The children are 18-year-old Alison who attends an Ivy League school and her younger sister, Claire. The eldest daughter goes missing on the morning that the family is supposed to be traveling home. her story becomes the centerpiece of the family's lifelong story. How they react or process the events on that island.
"With the truth we will do what, become what? And in gaining the truth, what do we lose?...That in the end, you just have to decide. To live. To continue."
This is an intricate and highly interwoven story of love, loss and resilience.
Highly recommend.
