A review by the_eggelstone
Vladimir by Julia May Jonas
4.0
A literary professor is lusting after her younger, attractive colleague, while simultaneously navigating her personal and professional life during accusations against her husband of having had indecent relationships with students.
What follows is a biting, interesting and dark inner monologue, that spirals towards an seemingly interesting climax - that just doesn’t really come. The last twenty pages or so feel like a rushed afterthought and left me somewhat disappointed. The writing is flawless and I enjoyed reading the book but it’s a shame the author didn’t manage to really stick the landing here. Curious to read what she comes up with next!
