The Night Journal by Elizabeth Crook kept me up all night reading. It is set in New Mexico, past and present, and weaves together four generations of women.
Meg, who is now 37 has taken her grandmother back to her childhood home in Las Vegas, New Mexico, where long buried secrets are uncovered. There, she finally reads her great grandmother Hanna's journals, that she has avoided reading all her life.The journals give us a wonderful portait of New Mexcio at the turn of the 20th century, and the landscape becomes one of the main characters of the story.
An intriguing mystery unfolds, and there are so many plot twists and turns, I just couldn't put this book down. A beautifully written, very enjoyable novel.
