A deeply haunting story of generational trauma, the weight of familial traditions, and the lasting consequences of oppression. Told across various perspectives, timelines, and locations, Our Share of Night weaves together a story with consistent and rewarding foreshadowing. In my opinion, some of those perspectives were more interesting than others, and held their own voice better than others.

I've finally finished listening to this audiobook!

It's a testament to the excellent narrator and fascinating story that I kept on with this because it was about 3 times longer than the books I usually read and the audiobook felt interminable.

This is such a complex story that has sparked my interest in learning more about the dictatorship and genocide in Argentina.

At its heart though, it's a supernatural story of a dark place and dark force that is as hungry as it is ancient. There is a secret order who have discovered this place and who believe that it offers the solution to eternal consciousness. They will stop at nothing to uncover its secrets but fundamentally fail to understand the fragile balance that must be upheld. If it takes, it bestows you with gifts. If you take, you must feed it.

Taking place in London and Argentina from about the 1920s to the 1990s, this is an epic story that will no doubt take me a while to piece together.

Definitely worth the effort but I'm looking forward to shorter audiobooks for the rest of the year

4.5 stars with just half a star deducted because I would have preferred 4 shorter novels and a novella or two

What an odd tale.

I should probably give it a 5/5 for plot and scope, but it was so meandering and convoluted that it was hard for me to get through.

I do love the look into another culture and cultural lore.
