What We Buried
The narrative follows Leonora (Leo), a young woman whose life is significantly altered when she inherits a remote, isolated farm from her estranged grandfather. Leo has a complicated history with the man, characterized by distance and unresolved issues, making this inheritance a weighty and difficult legacy. Upon arriving at the property, she discovers that her grandfather's death is only one of the mysteries surrounding the farm; the land itself seems to hold countless buried secrets, some perhaps literally hidden beneath the earth. As Leo delves deeper into her grandfather's past and the farm's history, she uncovers disturbing truths and deeply concealed family secrets that force her to re-evaluate her understanding of her own identity and lineage. Her investigation transforms into a personal quest for truth, confronting the weight of inherited trauma and the burden of long-held secrets. The novel is compelling for its atmospheric depiction of rural isolation, its slow-burning suspense that gradually reveals layers of mystery, and Leo's determined journey to make sense of her family's legacy and her place within it.
