Title: Rock Paper Scissors
Wow! I literally read this within a 24-hour time period. The twist at the end almost made me start over at page one to read through this new perspective, much like viewing the story through the tilted angle of a metaphorical kaleidoscope. But I resisted and trudged on. I swear, Mz. Feeney just kept twisting that kaleidoscope.
Try to wrap your head around what this could look like… Let me set the scene. A husbad, (who has prosopagnosia (face blindness, apparently some people can’t recognize even those they are closest too through facial recognition)) and wife win a weekend getaway in the deep country, only to be greeted upon arrival with a severe winter storm that snows them in. Looking around the converted chapel to house they start to realize the reason they have been brought there isn’t for a happy holiday away from it all. They soon discover that was not, at all, the sentiment behind this free vacay. No, the invitation was bourne from a much darker place. Leading one to the question of how well you really know your spouse and all they are capable of. To find out more, you’ll have to read.
Before closing up I wanted to share this quote from page 255, ‘The only good thing about losing everything, is the freedom that comes from having nothing left to lose.’
