The Hunters by Claire Messud
2.0
Actually two novellas which I was surprised about!
The first one, A Simple Tale, was okay, it followed a story of a woman's immigration tale through World War Two and her use as a political prisoner through her formative years. While it started out exciting (an incident with the woman she is caring for) it was extremely anticlimactic and disappointing.
The second, The Hunters, is again, anticlimactic, without any answers!!! I was so frustrated through out as it's written really intellectually and it made it hard to follow and then there was just no pay off.
