Bulwark- a wall or stockade that protects or sometimes hides the truth from the outside world.

Bulwark, Georgia, isolated, hidden. Who knows what strange things can happen when the rest of the world can’t see you? JB Stratton is alone in the world, and all he has left are the memories of his beloved Ellie. Dirt poor JB and wealthy Ellie feel an instant connection that is as intense and primal as the blood red earth of their home. Unseen roots connect them, pulling them into an impossible relationship. Will the memories of past lives help or hinder the path of their love? Based on the original novella Bulwark, by Brit Lunden, The Knowing continues the story of a town isolated from the rest of the world where the impossible becomes plausible, and logic is determined by reality.

My Thoughts

This first book in the Bulwark Anthology is The Knowing, and it’s a prequel of sorts to Bulwark, because it explains the origin of one character and possibly explains some insight into others.

This is a quick and easy read about fated lovers who stay together their entire lives. The Knowing is an adorable read that anyone can finish in one sitting. It gives some context to what happened in the main book (Bulwark) but also leaves the reader with a lot of questions.

The ending was wonderfully sad but beautiful and I found myself almost wistful once it ended.

I read the audiobook version, and the narrator was perfect throughout. I never once noticed anything about the reading that brought me out of the story.

Can’t wait to read the next book in the anthology to learn even more about the world of Bulwark.

Thanks so much to Brit Lunden and iRead Book Tours for my copy of The Knowing in exchange for an honest review.
