Stick Figures from Rockport Kindle Edition

by Jennifer M. Lane (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.0 out of 5 stars (73)
Tamsin Eliot isn’t half the painter her father was. She didn’t inherit his talent or his sense of adventure, preferring to stay close to home. But after the death of her mother, she does inherit his coat. And in its pocket, she finds a riddle - a crayon drawing of a lone stick figure, signed by a child named Ida and tucked in an envelope from Rockport.

In search of Ida she packs her bags and takes a reluctant trip to Rockport, the source of her happiest childhood memories and inspiration for her father’s most cherished art. But for all her doubts about straying far from home and finding Ida, she hasn’t calculated the cost. Will chasing after family secrets destroy her relationship with her only sister? Will shining light on old truths cast shadows on memories of her beloved father and obscure her view of the past?

STICK FIGURES FROM ROCKPORT is a story of loss and recovery, an ode to the family you come from, the family you choose, and the landscapes that shape who we are. Lane reminds us that we are forever tied to the places we come from. You can always go home again, but you may be different for the journey.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A whiskey-smooth read
    Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2019
    Verified Purchase
    This isn’t a genre I usually read, but this story pulled me in anyway with excellent pacing, super smooth prose, and deeply relatable characters dealing with personal and domestic obstacles that never feel petty. I particularly love guarded characters like Tamsin who are stretched, drawn out, pressured, and sometimes broken to open up in new ways. The romance aspect was subtle and delicate, never clobbering the narrative or Tamsin’s journey.

    The plot is a gentle mystery that ties itself around the characters of a town even as it untangles Tamsin’s own past and inner feelings. The side characters, from the shop owners to the passersby, all felt like they had a rich history of their own—which seems like a staple of Lane’s style. The setting, Rockport, is a character in itself, completely evocative of the upper East Coast, a weather-lashed little town brimming with personality and quirks even while wrung out by the rhythm of tourists. The details are just right, and as with Lane’s other novel, Of Metal And Earth, which I loved, this has wonderful emotion in physical details of objects, place, and movement. I learn so much writing craft from reading this!

    5.0 out of 5 stars A poignant tale of grief, family strife, and self (re)discovery
    Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2020

    Relatable characters, vivid settings, and engaging prose all pulled me right into this story. I always wanted to read just one more page, just one more chapter, to learn the truth behind what another reviewer perfectly described as the "gentle mystery" surrounding protagonist Tamsin's family history. The secrets buried beneath the rosy veneer of her childhood intersect with trauma in her adult life to send her on a journey - both literal and figurative - to discover the truths of her past and her future. Can she untangle her family's lies while also trying to come to terms with her own painful loss? You should read it and find out for yourself!

    ...and the book starts out with a flood of details.
    SO much detail that I couldn't keep going.
    (I had the same reaction with this author's other novel, "Of Metal and Earth".)

    The author obviously has the ability to write. (I don't see any books published with my name on them.)
    I just hope she finds an editor or friend or both to proof her writing and to be honest.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Love, lies, loss
    Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2022
    Format: Kindle
    Deeply moving story of loss, how each person reacts to it, what we share & don’t share about it. It’s learning your parents have feet of clay, & yet, you love them. It’s learning to let go of the past, to move forward, live in the present, hope for a future. Truly special, inspiring, informing.
