This book was translated from French, so I\u2019m not sure how much of the weird vibe I got was from the translation and how much was from the descriptions of a person losing their mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The book starts off normally enough, but slowly becomes confusing. Is this the narrator losing touch with reality? A conspiracy happening behind the scenes? Are even the narrator\u2019s elderly parents in on it? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Written well this could be a very nice setup and lead satisfyingly to a twist or resolution. This to me had neither, yet I was still turning the pages eagerly waiting to see what was next. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
One added bonus was the delicious-sounding foods that are described within the pages – the French are pretty serious about their cuisine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even after finishing the book I\u2019m still not entirely certain what really happened. I believe that vengeance was had but I\u2019m not really clear by whom. Who could I really believe?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next I am reading Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
