The story is over. It’s already too late.

At the end of the Turkish War of Independence, a British soldier disobeys orders to return home. Setting out to explore a country he had only known as trespasser, he uncovers danger, mysteries, and magic—adventure, obsession, and true love.

One hundred years later, the soldier’s great-granddaughter sits at her great-grandmother’s deathbed while the old woman recounts this very tale; it is the last she will ever tell.

Secrets are revealed as past and present collide, and as one woman’s future draws toward its inevitable close, another finds hers thrown into uncertainty.

 

Review:



 On her 119th birthday, the matriarch of the Merrill family is rushed to the hospital.  Before she passes, Ayla Merrill recounts the story of how she and her husband, Oliver met.  Listening is her great-granddaughter, Cass.  Cass has always loved her great-grandmother's stories and the magic that it brings into her life.  Cass can't believe that she has never heard the story of how Ayla and Oliver met.  However, as Ayla tells her unbelievable tale, Cass begins to realize that something isn't quite right.

With a mix of fantasy, family and folklore, Matriarch took me on an unforgettable journey.  I was entranced from the very beginning with hints of Fate, Destiny and Doom alongside a dying 119 year old woman.  As soon as Ayla begins to unravel her history for Cass, I was entwined by the atmosphere and mystery that was created.  I loved the inclusion of Turkish folklore of the Erbörü along with other magical elements. Matriarch is an example of masterful storytelling weaving together romance, suspense and unexpected twists and turns while sharing the importance of love and promises. I was constantly surprised by this story until the very end.

This book was received for free in return for an honest review.

    Hi there! I'm Stephanie and I obviously love reading.  As, the title suggests, I read at least one hundred pages a day.  I enjoy most book genres; however, my favorites are historical fiction, fantasy, science fiction, thriller, horror and YA.  I also read a lot of non-fiction science and gardening books for my occupation.  I enjoy reviewing books and as always, any book that I receive for free is read in return for my honest review.
