A Calculated Life by Anne Charnock
4.0
I made a video about this available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Cvm1hwY-sU
Mainly I really enjoyed being sucked into a story through beautiful writing and intellectual character study rather than strong emotion. There is a sense of detachment when reading this book, and yet the more I think about it, the more that seems appropriate. To be read with a cup of tea, early in the morning or late at night, on a rooftop or in a public space, while taking frequent breaks to quietly muse our own existence.
