Porcelain Lullaby

by Blaine Daigle

I went into this story almost blind, the only clue being the creepy doll on the cover. Who doesn’t love a creepy doll story? This turned out to be so much more than just a story with creepy dolls in it, although they are there, and are fully creepy.

But this is also a story about family, about the tragedies that can tear us apart, about the grief and regret and anger that can keep us rooted in our past, forever haunted by it. This is a story about brothers and the lengths one will go to, to save the other. 

In order to do that though, they must delve into a past far beyond them, one that is not their own, but impacts them in every way.  A past that belongs to their mother, and the orphanage where she grew up, a past she is calling them back to. 

I loved the immersive quality of this story, the depths of emotion displayed at various points of the story, the relationship dynamics, and the very twisted ending. Highly recommended reading.

*suitable for older teens and up. 14 and over.
