review 1: I read The Mill River Recluse and now The Mill River Redemption and LOVED THEM BOTH.....and hated to see both end - would have loved for them to go on and on and on!!! I hope Darcie Chan will write more books that take place in Mill River so we can continue to follow the residents of this lovely Vermont village and meet new residents that come along to shake things up, like Josie, Rose, and Emily did in The Mill River Redemption. Do yourself a favor and read The Mill River Recluse, first so that you understand the relationships and history of the town folk. I think a Lifetime or Hallmark Channel TV series taking place in Mill River would be wonderful!!!
review 2: I had been looking forward to the Mill River Redemption by Darcie Chan. Maybe my expectations were ... moretoo high. Except for the boy, I didn’t like that way that the main characters behaved. They seemed to care only about themselves. The nine year old boy was the only one that I would care to meet if they were real people. Also I felt betrayed by the strange and contrived ending. Josie De Santi moves to Mill River after a tragic fire. She lost her husband and had no job and had two daughters, Rosie and Emily. The two girls were inseparable at the beginning but they started on different paths. The story switches back and forth from present to the past so that you can learn what tragedy caused Emily and Rosie to become bitter enemies. One of the themes is forgiveness but seemed too difficult for either one of the women to come to terms with that. Rosie was an alcoholic, she had been a wild girl sneaking out with her friends late at night and caring more about clothes than feelings. It was difficult to understand how she did not feel her sister’s pain after the tragedy. It is strange to think that her son turned out to be so caring. Oh, I did like two minor characters a lot, Father O’Brien a former spoon stealer and the young woman who prepared and sold potions. I wish the story centered around them instead. But the part that I did not like the most was the ending. I think that when you read a book, you begin to develop a trust for author. But this story seemed so unreal and the ending so contrived that the trust was broken for me. less
