A review by merricatct
Quarantine by Jim Crace

4.0

I was waffling between three and four stars, since I just don't know how I feel about this book, but the fact that it's got me thinking about it to this extent tipped it into four-star range. This was a fever dream of a book - I feel like I just spent 40 days parched in a desert cave along with the characters, not sure what's real and what's imaginary. I love Jim Crace's writing style and way with language, but this subject matter lent a whole new level of weirdness and magic to the words.

I was intending to use this as my "set in the Middle East" prompt, but because of Musa, I've decided to use this as my "character you hate" prompt.
