That is more than enough of a story without a love interest. This book is literally about teenage girls who start a cult revolution. The book went swimmingly up until the point where the love interest was introduced. We Hear the Dead started out so promising, and ended so annoyingly, that it may be one of the biggest disappointments that I've ever read. For my sister Leah, they were a means to an end.
Maggie has a different understanding of all the events that have happened since that night in Hydesville forty years ago. My sister has used the word "deception." I object to her use of that word, for I do not believe that I have ever intentionally deceived anyone. As Doctor wrote to me: "Weary, weary is the life by cold deceit oppressed." Only with the passing of time did I come to understand the consequences of my actions. We were led on by my sister purposely and by my mother unintentionally. No one suspected us of any trick, because we were such young children. I began the deception when I was too young to know right from wrong. Meticulously researched by the author, We Hear the Dead reveals the secret of how the Fox sisters faked their rapping sounds and their motives for inventing the séance and founding spiritualism.
But soon enough, spiritualism was the fastest growing movement of the nineteenth century, and Maggie Fox was trapped in a life of deceit.
