Her sentences are unreal. I couldn’t put this book down for the Sam/Carlotta plot, but the frame narrative had excellent writing about self-protection, stagnation, regret, isolation… Dunn herself is impressive, but the editorial process of publishing an unpublished novel after the author passes away was fascinating.
