 This is very much a pandemic novel - not in that it's about a pandemic, but the crushing isolation and loneliness of being possibly the only survivor of whatever happened evokes the same mood and I was not emotionally ready for it. I picked it up because I was in the mood for something more slow and contemplative, but this was too much. It is interesting and I may come back to it when I'm farther from Pandemic Emotions, but I can't finish it right now.
