A review by piccoline
The Convalescent by Jessica Anthony

3.0

A more whimsical approach than I usually can take as a reader, but Anthony deploys it well. Sadly, it felt to me like it lost momentum as it went along.

Even so, it seems to me this is a worlds better attempt at what Jonathan Safran Foer was trying (and to my mind failing) to do with Everything is Illuminated.

But I don't want to start a fight about the merit or (extreme) lack of merit of Foer.
