Description Things Too Big To Name by Molly Best Tinsley

Margaret Torrens trades academia for early retirement and the solitude of a cabin in the Oregon mountains. Four months later, she is locked in a ward for the criminally insane undergoing assessment, and a charge of murder is in the air. Pried out of her by an impatient young psychologist, Margaret’s story features Jane Farrow–a former student, who showed up at the cabin uninvited with an odd, mute child in tow–and Victor–Margaret’s alleged victim, who put his claim on both. As Margaret works to control this narrative of the recent past, she is waylaid by secrets, borne by the ghost of her young husband, lost decades before.

Guest Review Things Too Big To Name by Molly Best Tinsley

Guest review by Bessie Z.

“Things Too Big To Name” by Molly Best Tinsley begins with the equivalent of an authorial punch. The main character, Margaret, is driving down a dark highway when she hits a deer. Confused and disoriented, she manages to make it back to her house where she is immediately confronted by what may (or may not) be the spirit of her late husband. What follows after this is nearly 300 pages of a fascinating descent into Margaret’s mind as she questions her sanity and everything that she has come to know as true throughout her life.

This book was so well written that there were points where it had me questioning my own sanity. I’ve never read Tinsley’s work before, but she has such a seemingly effortless way of twisting and turning a narrative so it distracts you just enough that her well-toned action scenes can sneak up behind you and rob you blind. You can bet I’ll be tracking down more of her books after this! What an exciting and enthralling reading experience this was all around. This is the kind of book that leaves you thinking about it for a long time afterward.

Tinsley’s short, clipped sentences and respect of the reader’s intelligence is exactly my cup of tea in a novel. I’m not sure what else I can say except that I highly recommend this book to anyone who is looking for something that will keep you guessing and that you absolutely cannot put down until it’s finished. I know I couldn’t. I give this book +5stars.
