In the Shadow of the Greenbrier features multiple narrators from the same family at different points in their lives. There is Sol, a young Jewish immigrant trying to make his way in America and find the life he has dreamed of for so long. Then there is Sylvia, who is married to Sol's son but isn't in love with him. She is a young mother but only wants to go to Palestine to reunite with her family. We also meet Doree, Sylvia's daughter, who as a young woman is looking toward what her future holds and what she wants for her life. Finally, there is Jordan, who has just started working as a reporter when he receives a tip to look more closely into the Greenbrier and its history. All the members of the family have some tie to the Greenbrier through the years so Jordan is hopeful to learn more about what might be hidden there.
The author makes every character's story come to life and the pacing is spot on. I enjoyed the family dynamics as well as the suspense as to how the story would unfold. This book filled my desire for learning a little more about the Greenbrier while also enjoying the multiple generation narrative that took place.
I received this book courtesy of the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
