The Thin Place

The Thin Place (2006) by Kathryn Davis. In the small New England town of Varennes, a twelve-year-old brings the dead back to life, and we can hear the thoughts of animals. Highly praised elsewhere, this novel didn't do much for me. This may be due to some shortcoming on my part, as the book seemed to be written on some higher, poetic plane. I didn't get it. Grade: B
