A review by fabulousdave
Kinder Than Solitude by Yiyun Li

5.0

Yiyun Li is so skilled at crafting a perfectly enigmatic character. All three protagonists are well drawn but Ruyu is at another level. She's an enthralling character that I'll be thinking about for years. Kinder Than Solitude is another brilliant novel from Li, who plays with tropes of plot structure so beautifully. Like Yeo-sun's Lemon, it seems to be a whodunit at first before veering into a more complex and beautiful story. Highly recommend.
