Reading Playlist

Yesteryear

by Caro Claire Burke

This playlist mirrors the haunting and complex journey of "Yesteryear," blending intimate acoustic and folk-inspired instrumentals with evocative indie and alternative vocal tracks. The instrumental selections evoke the historical 1855 setting and the eerie transition from modern to pioneer life, while the vocal songs explore themes of identity, survival, and the clash between appearance and reality, matching the book's emotional depth and satire.
