It&#8217;s an exploration of nature versus nature and the fears parents have about passing their trauma on to the next generation.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI have the familiar growing sense that always fills me at Sundial: that this is the only real place on earth, and the rest of the world is a kind of dream.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>From the outside, Rob&#8217;s life seems idyllic. She&#8217;s a teacher and the mother of two girls, 9-year-old Annie and 12-year-old Callie, while her husband Irving is a professor. But an incident at home leads Rob no choice but to take Callie back to her childhood home deep in the Mojave desert. At Sundial, Rob must confront the specter of her own childhood and its implications for her children. Is history repeating itself, or is something much more sinister going on?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cKids are mirrors, reflecting back everything that happens to them. You\u2019ve got to make sure they\u2019re surrounded by good things.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>There&#8217;s very little that I can say without revealing much of the plot &#8211; or what you think the plot is. A large focus of the book is on childhood, about how things aren\u2019t what they seem, about how what you thought happened as a child was not, entirely, the truth. The book is mostly from Rob and Callie&#8217;s viewpoints, starting with both of them in the present and then gradually adding in chapters from Rob&#8217;s past, which start from when she&#8217;s seventeen. Callie&#8217;s chapters are absolutely amazing. At twelve, she&#8217;s much younger than Rob was, but she also has a unique view of the world, and in some ways, a more clearer and adult view. There&#8217;s also a few book-within-a-book chapters, a story that Rob is writing along the lines of one of those classic English girls&#8217; boarding school books. But as the chapters progress; it\u2019s clear that the narrators aren\u2019t telling us everything, and you\u2019re left with the deeply unsettling feeling that something is very, very wrong. Even with all the twists and turns, the story is fairly linear and was nearly impossible to put down once I started it.<\/p>\n<p>While I include content notes below, I&#8217;d also like to call out specifically that there are a lot of content warnings for this book, especially around animals and dogs specifically. I never felt like it was gratuitous, and certain aspects of the story made it feel sufficiently fictional that it wasn&#8217;t too overwhelming for me.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, this was a creepy read about childhood and how that affects us as a parent with plenty of twists to keep a reader completely engrossed.
