Summer House with Swimming Pool
by Herman Koch
I blindly added this book to my summer reading list after Vogue mentioned it in a recent issue. I had just studied for months for the Bar Exam, and it sounded like a fun read from the title. "Fun" is not an appropriate description of this book, but it was a bit of a thrill… and an interesting exercise in feeling both compassion and revulsion for the same characters. While I ultimately liked this twisted story, it's not at all what I expected. Because I knew so little about the plot (and the author), the whole thing was a bit of a shock.
