This was interesting. It wasn’t perfect - especially since this required way too much suspension of disbelief in parts. But the Vancouver/Canadian setting and the characters were intriguing. Nora was especially frustrating and caustic but something about her still drew me in. The issues here - being a survivor, alcoholism, MMIW - are all crazy terrible things to deal with and I thought those were handled well. Even when I hated the choices Nora was making I could at least understand her rationale for making those decisions. It’s a slow character portrait with a dark mystery - but the mystery is not the main focus.
