The Marsh King's Daughter

Helena. Helena is the narrator and protagonist of Karen Dionne’s novel titled, The Marsh King’s Daughter. She was raised in isolation in remote Upper Michigan where her father had kidnapped her mother, kept her in captivity, and conceived Helena. Alternating chapters in the past and present balance the exposition and allow Dionne to develop the characters deeply and build psychological tension. Readers who like fast-paced thrillers are those most likely to enjoy this novel. Rating: Four-star (I like it) Click here to purchase The Marsh King’s Daughter from amazon.com.
