Here’s a short summary of The Diviners:
The main character is posh and living her best life in the 1920s, and Evie is bright, flamboyant, and ostentatious, out to live with her uncle in New York. There, she finds a plot, complete with real roaming ghosts and secretive cult members. Together with a gang of New York socialites and randos, Evie needs to discover this plot and stay in New York, instead of being shipped off back home. Why does she care? Because she can, of course.
Here's a short review of the novel:
There isn't’t much to say about this book. It’s possibly the longest book in this list of novels, and for good reason, because it may be the most complex with plots that unravel and rope together in a disjointed session. It was brilliantly written and really made me feel like I was in that time period. Evie was a character who felt like a “theater kid,” always talking, always confident, never faltering. It was both refreshing and “eh” to read about it, but still, it proved to be okay, and I appreciated it by the end. The supernatural and paranormal aspects of the book were also brilliantly done, and I truly felt I was in this spooky version of 1920s New York, glitzy and fake in the scheme of things.
