I have ADHD and am therefore definitely no stranger to telling a convoluted story, but Messud frequently manages to lose me in hers. What’s more, the little stories within a story with their little offshoots of other stories are mostly not important but on the off chance one of them ever is, you can’t really afford to gloss over them, so while the book is compelling, it’s also not an easy read.
