3.75 Perhaps not the best time to read it during our long pandemic.
Clever, with a message that is both clearly conveyed and not too heavy handed. Millet somehow strikes a balance between charming and haunting in a novel that is both for this moment and serving to warn us about it.

This was a weird and wonderful book!
I love Lydia Millet. This isn't my favorite of her books, but it's riveting. Certainly appropriate to the moment even if it was published 10 yrs ago. A bit of a downer, just be warned.
