I’m finding this very gripping and I definitely see shades (pun partly intended) of LINCOLN IN THE BARDO in that a cast of the dead keeps interjecting, but the violence, so far, is extreme. I’ve been feeling kind of down today and this doesn’t help. That people could commit brutalities with such coldness. This is a fiction book, but such people do exist. I want to believe people are ultimately good, but… 😕

Holly recommended this and it just became available at my library. She claims to love it the way I love LINCOLN IN THE BARDO. Strange, I don’t remember hearing her talk about this book that much. Oh well, I’ll give it a go. Only a few pages in so far. It wouldn’t sync to my Kobo; I hope it will tomorrow. I’d hate to have to read this entire thing on my phone.
