A review by haydenjweal
The Luminaries by Eleanor Catton

5.0

I adored reading this. Every time I picked it up and scoffed down a few pages I basked in the hopeful belief I was getting smarter. It was like reading Austen again, or sitting around listening to an infinitely more intelligent friend tell me a story around a fireplace. Add to that the story was catching, the narrative was intriguing and the setting was local, it rocks a five star review. Ace, Eleanor. Aces.
