With a mysterious overtone and a literary delivery, Dreams of Arcadia is a spectacular and unique read.

Nate Holub needs a change of scenery. He leaves his life in the city and takes a veterinary job in his deceased father's hometown. There, he reconnects with his family. He also has to face a different pace of work in the country. At the same time, he also comes to realize that there is more to his father's death than he'd previously believed.

I've never read a book that had such a central focus on veterinarians. Admittedly, I have a low threshold for animals in any sort of distress so there were parts of this I found difficult to read, but overall it was fascinating. I love to read novels where I end up learning something. I also enjoyed the characters as well as the writing style. Wonderfully rural!

A huge thanks to the author for inviting me to read a digital ARC through NetGalley!
