I agree--very enjoyable, well-written and rich in character.
I'm also on the last few pages of The Immortalists by Chloe Benjamin. This is another novel I would recommend. Once you get beyond the rather kitschy premise of four siblings receiving their exact death dates by a mysterious fortuneteller, the novel dives into questions of family loyalty and loss, what we believe and why and surviving vs living. Though I had a few quibbles with the material, the writing and characterization were excellent and overall the story was satisfying and full. It's the sort of thing I want when I invest in a novel read--a feast as opposed to a snack.
Next up? I read a review of Jo Nesbo's Macbeth, a crime noir, an updated rendition of the original play set in Glasgow. That sounded interesting.
So much to read, so little time!
