In the Blue Hour
by Elizabeth Hall is the story of one woman’s journey to restore her life after
the sudden loss of her husband. Elise Brooks is trying to live life after her
husband, Michael, was killed in a sudden car accident. Plagued by visions of
the accident, ravens and other omens, she sets on a path to find out if her
husband is trying to reach her, trying to point her on the path she needs to
take now. Despite the objections of her best friend, Monica, Elise sets on a
trip from the mountains of northern New Mexico to the mountains of Tennessee.
Along the way she learns the truth about herself, her husband and her family’s
past hidden from her for so long. Will Elise be able to move on with her life?
Will she be able to see her loved ones in the blue hour?
In the Blue Hour
is a great story of life through grief and a journey to a home long forgotten.
The title refers to the blue hour where the sky deepens into “a deep ice-blue
at dusk” where, according to the story, the veil between the living and the dead
is the thinnest. The story is rich will Native American folklore and omens
which drive the character on her journey. I enjoyed every character as they are
needed for the story. No one character seemed out of place as Elise struggles
with what she knows and what she sees. It is an excellent story all around and I
highly recommend In the Blue Hour for
its take on grief, the Native American themes and the great story of how our
loved ones never really leave us.
