The Invisibles - Rachel Dacus
The Invisibles by Rachel Dacus is a novel that combines tragedy, adventure and loyalty.
The death of Nathan Greene reunites feuding sisters Elinor and Saffron who have not spoken for two years. When they arrive in Lerici to get their father's cottage ready to sell, they learn quickly they've inherited much more than a house.
Dacus scatters a series of secrets throughout the story and reveals them one at a time. Each carries a significant weight and adds excitement to the journey. Among the secrets is a hidden manuscript and their father is adamant they work together to find it.
Their vastly different approaches to life make working together difficult. Elinor's got a practical, systematic way of getting things done - she likes spreadsheets - and a lifelong belief that she needs to take care of her younger sister. And she doesn't have time for games. She has a job to get back to in Berkeley.
Saffron loves adventure and has a wild imagination. She's also got a connection to the Invisibles, or lingering spirits. With nothing to get back home to, and a new love interest, she is in no hurry to leave. Being the younger of two sisters, I especially related to Saffron, most notably in her efforts to prove her worth and capability.
Everything changes when Saffron receives a disturbing message from the resident ghost and a tragic event puts their loyalty to the ultimate test and changes their lives forever.
Elinor and Saffron are a pair of sisters who couldn't be more different. The one thing they have in common is an unspoken desire for the other to be happy and for the feud to be over. They're both lovable in their own way, and together they are a dynamic duo.
The Invisibles magnificently braids Dacus's love for Italy, poetry and romance. The journey of Elinor and Saffron provides a great escape, and I can't wait to follow them on their next adventure!
