Dovetail

Perfectly Executed. This was an interesting take on the dual timeline approach, where the connection between the two timelines is both standard and... not. Standard in that the older characters in the more current timeline are much younger in the older timeline, not in ... exactly how the older timeline is revealed. This is a drastic departure from the feel-good story of McQuestion's 2019 work Good Man, Dalton, but is perhaps even more interesting because of it. Here we get much darker themes of possession, abuse, and regret, but we also get a seemingly accurate portrayal of life in rural 1916 and 1983 and the hope that could exist in both eras. Truly excellent work, and solid evidence of McQuestion's adaptability as a storyteller. Very much recommended.
