Mathilda Savitch: A Novel by Victor Lodato


My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Filled with grief, guilt, and confusion, young Mathilda Savitch is preoccupied with finding the cause of her 16-year-old sister's death. Having hacked into her sister Helena's email, Mathilda finds a secret world and begins to unravel the mystery. We see Mathilda change from child to young woman as she uses her feminine wiles to gather information. What could she have discovered that leaves a family so desolated. Lodato masterfully depicts an early teen's maschinations about boys, death, parents, love, sex, and humor. A deeply psychological book that leaves the reader with a clear knowledge of who Mathilda Savitch really is.
