desperately need everyone in the world to read my favorite book that i imprinted on like a baby duckling at 16 years old. was there something wrong with me? maybe. is the book good? yes.
do you like ghosts? haunted houses? weird marriages? then boy do i have the book for you
This is one of the best books I read the year it came out— it’s originally in French, and is the first of a quartet, but can be read alone. The elaborate world building is such a satisfying contrast to characters that are hyperreal and it was such a beautiful read; I sat with it a long time after I’d finished, and I think it fits the brief of “blow your mind” very well.
