The Rehearsal
by Eleanor Catton
challenging
emotional
mysterious
reflective
slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
A mix
Strong character development:
Yes
Loveable characters:
Complicated
Immediately tense and sort of sinister, in an immersive and surface calm sort of way. Fantastic writing and a very compelling story that could so easily be trite or melodramatic based on themes; or overwritten in an unusual structure that instead drives the story-telling. I enjoyed this more than the Luminaries in that I thought it was more, mmm, comfortable with its own structure.
