The Bone People by Keri Hulme
4.0
challenging dark mysterious sad slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

A beautifully written book that conveys some interesting ideas, while being set in small town NZ. The three main characters are all different and fascinating. 

That said the writing style is definitely challenging and is often difficult to know what is happening.
