Falling Animals by Sheila Armstrong
4.0
Very, very beautifully written. The prose is majestic in many places. I think though, that maybe the story takes a back seat to the lovely writing.
The interconnected, but not interconnectedness, of this book is what had me hooked though. The tiny connections we have with people we know nothing of. Who all have their own rich and complex lives. It was well done. And whilst part of me ached for them to comes together more to piece together what was happening, I think it winds up being a story truer to reality. Because so infrequently do things work out neatly and succinctly.
