Severance by Ling Ma
5.0

Man, this book. Even though I’m already on to my next read, I’m still stuck in this novel. Beautiful writing with not a wasted word. I went in expecting another dystopian pandemic story, which I got, but it was so much more. It’s an immigrant story, a workplace story, a relationship story, and yes a pandemic story. Ling Ma did a beautiful job of weaving all the parts of the main character’s story together with short chapters and back story that really came together to tell a complete tale. Because everything in our life is connected, including the past.
