I Am Margaret Moore
I Am Margaret Moore: A Novel | Hannah Capin
2 posts | 2 read | 2 to read
Lyrical and haunting, Hannah Capin's I Am Margaret Moore is a paranormal thriller that tests the hold of sisterhood and truth. I am a girl. I am a monster, too. Each summer the girls of Deck Five come back to Marshall Naval School. They sail on jewel-blue waters; they march on green drill-fields; they earn sunburns and honors. They push until they break apart and heal again, stronger. Each summer Margaret and Rose and Flor and Nisreen come back to the place where they are girls, safe away from the world: sisters bound by something more than blood. But this summer everything has changed. Girls are missing and a boy is dead. It’s because of Margaret Moore, the boys say. It’s because of what happened that night in the storm. Margaret’s friends vanish one by one, swallowed up into the lies she has told about what happened between her and a boy with the world at his feet. Can she unravel the secrets of this summer and last, or will she be pulled under by the place she once called home?

I Am Margaret Moore is a dark fictional novel about first love, sisterhood and betrayal. It has elements of young adult suspense and the paranormal. This is not an easy book to love. The storytelling is non-linear with a poetic style which can be difficult to get into but by the middle I found myself rooting for Margaret Moore. I recommend this one for readers that like moody atypical stories with tragic heroines and strong sisterhoods.

I have come to really love Hannah Capin's style of writing, fiercely feminist lyrical prose that is powerful and poetic but still easy and enjoyable to read. A story of elitism and privilege, I Am Margaret Moore is a tale as old as time. Girl meets boy, girl falls in love with boy, boy uses girl, boy does something terrible, girl is demonized, boy is idolized.

But this time no one will live happily ever after.
