Here’s the AI-generated summary:

The book is a suspenseful Nordic thriller with a folk tale twist about a young girl and her younger brother living in isolation on an island, supposedly for their protection.

That about sums it up! :) For details, see below.

Hi, today I am reviewing What Mother Won't Tell Me. Now I read this one on my Kindle app and, unfortunately, it kind got lost in the shuffle of reviews I was doing. So I just want to say that I really enjoyed this book a lot. It was a highly suspenseful story. 

The protagonist is a young woman, a girl who's old enough to be say in her teens, I think, and she has a younger brother, and they're on this island and they keep being told they're being protected from the outside world, and she wants very much to leave the island and see what's out there. And her parents are like, no, no, don't go there. So as it turns out, they're kind of not cool. I won't say anything more. I think that's all that needs to be said. 

It's a highly suspenseful story that really merits somebody's attention. And I'll just leave it at that. What Mother Won't Tell Me, as described by a publicist, "a taut Nordic thriller with a folk tale twist about a young girl raised in strict isolation, protected from the cruel people in the outside world who soon realizes the most dangerous strangers are the ones in the bedroom across the hall." 

There you have it. I recommend this one. What Mother Won't Tell Me by Ivar Leon Manger. Hope I said that right. Ivar Leon Manger. Thank you and I will talk to you later. Be seeing you.
