Mr. Splitfoot by Samantha Hunt
"Mr. Splitfoot" is a gothic and enigmatic tale that intertwines the stories of two women: Ruth, a foster child who grows up in a loveless home run by a religious fanatic, and her niece, Cora, who is unexpectedly visited by Ruth years later. The narrative unfolds in parallel timelines, with Ruth's past revealing her involvement with a con man in a scheme to communicate with the dead, and Cora's present-day journey across New York State, led by a now-mute Ruth on a mysterious mission. As the two women's paths converge, the novel explores themes of family, belief, and the intertwining of life and death, all while blurring the lines between the supernatural and reality.
