All That Was
by Tanya E. Williams
Emily is a young lawyer and is given the job of archiving church’s history before the building is being torn down.
She finds out that her parents were married in this church and came across some diaries that led her to know about Elizabeth Thomas who died in 1973. Despite the fact that they lived almost a century apart, they both share so many life experiences in common.
Getting to know the story’s main characters, Emily and Elisabeth, from different time periods, they both learn that in order to move on in life, they need to grieve for their losses. If not, they will always be stuck in the past.
I liked the dual perspective storyline and complex female characters. All That Was is a story of two strong women dealing with their losses. I think it’s a real ghost story, ghosts are alive in this book and I really liked it. (considering the fact that I don’t believe in ghosts ).
The author did a great job intermingling time periods and describing the details. I recommend this book to those who enjoy historical fiction and ghost stories.
