Best for readers who...
Good fit if you want...
- You are looking for background about the artist or subject.
- You need a closer look at craft and creativity.
- If you appreciate intimate first-person, the author plays with form to mirror the book’s themes, breaking up expectations in rewarding ways.
- You need to know every detail before opening the book.
- You are looking for a very different pace.
- If you do not enjoy long family sagas, the narrator’s credibility is intentionally shaky throughout the book.
