These Nameless Things by Shawn Smucker

This is the second book I’ve read of Shawn Smucker.

MY REVIEW

Clear your schedule before you start…because once you get into this book you will not be able to put it down.

This story unfolds in such a way that you cannot put this book down, you have to keep reading to find the answers to the mounting questions. Hauntingly well told, we can all relate to these characters and their journey. This story is also quite literally a journey of survival, but also beautifully symbolic. It’s a story of guilt, regrets, grief, grace, and learning to come to terms with it all and find forgiveness and love. Thoroughly thought-provoking and inspiring, right to the last page.

ABOUT THE BOOK

Before Dan opened his door to find a wounded woman who had escaped from the tormentors in the mountain, his life had become rather quiet. He and the eight other people in the mostly abandoned town had become friends. They spent peaceful evenings around the campfire and even made vague plans to journey east one day and leave the ominous mountain behind.

But the woman’s arrival changes everything.
Who is she? How does she know so much about Dan’s brother, who is still held captive in the mountain? Why are long-forgotten memories rising to the surface? And why does Dan feel so compelled to keep her presence in his house a secret?

Visionary writer Shawn Smucker is back with an unsettling story that invites us to consider two challenging questions: To what lengths will we go to assuage our own guilt? and Is there a limit to the things we will do for the people we love?
