Folk by Zoe Gilbert

2.0

This was hard to rate. The writing is so beautiful and evocative and the setting is gorgeous and vivid but overall I don’t think I really have the patience required for it. A lot of the stories were vague and confusing, and there wasn’t really enough of a through line between them (other than being set in the same place with some of the same characters) for me to be invested in reading on to the next, or to feel any kind of satisfying cohesion from the collection as a whole, so this was kind of a hard one to motivate myself to finish. Having said that, there were a few in there that I actually thought were really brilliant, but not enough of them to justify a higher rating.
