gardnerhere 's review for:

So Much Blue by Percival Everett
4.0

A triptych that takes its time in paying off but does. The present moment and two episodes of the past --a protracted infidelity and an amateur rescue mission to war torn El Salvador--weave together here. Everett handles the balance expertly, enough so that as each scene shift approached I was both anxious to return to the pending story line and remiss to leave the one I was in.

May 2024: Good enough that I returned within two years.
