The Silver Suitcase – Terrie Todd


♥♥♥♥

I received an ARC from Net Galley and this book just captivated me from the beginning, I couldn’t put it down.

The book tells the story of Cornelia, jumping between her life on the farm in 1939 and her life afterwards. I loved the aspect of Cornelia telling her story, and then her granddaughter, Benita, reading the diaries. I liked the aspect where Benita got to know her grandmother better through reading these diaries. How the diaries helped Benita to cope through her own personal crisis.

The book is an emotional rollercoaster, and you could see the growth of all the characters. From Cornelia as a young girl who experience a lot of tragedies, and how she coped with everything to Benita, who had to learn to let go of some control.

Terri Todd really knows how to capture your heart and make you fall in love with the characters and root for them. Todd also wove in the silver suitcase and how it all connected with each other. Even the reveal at the end was amazing, something I did not see coming. Definitely a must read.
