The House of Doors by Tan Twan Eng
3.5
reflective sad medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

This was a unique historical perspective on a country I don't know much about. The main characters were quite complex and their personal stories were compelling. Except when it came to the political movements. I found myself bored during those times even though they were important moments of growth for at least one character. I am glad to have read this novel and I will read more from this author.
