Kinder Than Solitude by Yiyun Li

5.0

Fascinating, character-driven narrative about the impact of a mysterious event in adolescence on three people. The event slowly becomes more clear as we get to know the three characters and see how their personalities and priorities were forever altered by the experience.

Bounces between perspectives and also all over the place in time - but incredibly smoothly and effectively. Never once was I lost, and information and scenes seemed to come right when they should.
