 By: Olivia Isaac- Henry

Location: FIC ISA

Genre: Horror


Chilling and uncanny folk suspense in a novel of twisted sisterhood and dark secrets. She thought arriving there was bad enough.
Then she tried to run away…

1978. When teenager Rina Pine is dumped by her hippy mother in the parochial village of Sorrow Spring, and forced to live with her aged aunt, Agatha Pine, she doesn’t think things can get any worse.
There she finds a community beholden to the past, and a village in the grip of a close-knit circle of older women who worship the local spring and its patron saint, all under the leadership of the formidable Agatha.
But when a child goes missing and a young mother is killed, Rina is drawn into the dark and sinister truth flowing through the sacred waters that give the place its name. Rina is about to learn what it truly means to be a daughter of Sorrow Spring…


Review by Bethnay

Sorrow Spring by Olivia Isaac-Henry is a chilling thriller that excels in creating an eerie and unsettling atmosphere. The dual timeline and well-crafted characters keep the reader engaged, though the novel's length and pacing could have been tighter. Despite these minor drawbacks, the story’s twists, the palpable sense of dread, and the dark secrets of Sorrow Spring make it a compelling read for fans of psychological thrillers. If you enjoy a mix of the occult, folklore, mystery, and a touch of horror, Sorrow Spring is a book worth exploring.
