Best for readers who...

Good fit if you want...

  • You want a straightforward explanation or story.
  • You are looking for a book you can read without much background.
  • If you appreciate intimate first-person, the author plays with form to mirror the book’s themes, breaking up expectations in rewarding ways.

  • You want a reference book rather than a regular read.
  • If you do not enjoy long family sagas, the narrator’s credibility is intentionally shaky throughout the book.
