This book is fascinating. It challenges the way we look at historical figures and how to view this moment in our history. He cautions that suffering accepted as inevitable might only be inevitable because we accept it that way.

There was so much I wanted to like about this book. Unfortunately, the narrative is largely an art history lesson with some narrative in between. I love art history. But this feels more like a fiction exercise than a story. Mona also reads like an ad ...more

There is a lot I admired about this book, and I was excited to read it after the announcement of the Booker Prize. I didn't find it engaging, except for pieces along the way. The characters are relatively dull and don't reflect on their lives in any ...more

This was a super quick read and delivered on the premise. It's The Thing meets steamy romance (kind of!) but probably not in the way anyone would expect. I love contagion stories and this hits right in that sweet spot. Note: I read the audiobook, pro ...more

While I loved The Nest and Ghost Light, this feels like his best work, inviting contemplation but evading easy answers. I was guessing until the final pages what would happen. And you end up rooting for and against the same characters, depending on t ...more
