Though a bit later than I usually post, today’s review is about ORCHID CHILD by Victoria Costello. Set mainly in Ireland, this story examines the effects of generational trauma and epigenetic expression. In a sense, confronting the truth and the past will set these characters free.

But there are so many spoilers and discussions floating around (an understatement) that I didn’t want to continue to dodge. So does it live up to the hype? Well, check out my review to find out!
