A review by livlovelit
Inland by Téa Obreht
3.0
I received this book as an ARC from NetGalley.
Obreht is undoubtedly a beautiful writer, but I just could not figure out what was going on in this book. It’s written from two perspectives, both of which reveal more through time. Just when I felt like I was starting to get my bearings in the story it would switch to a totally different character and setting in a way I just couldn’t follow. I liked The Tiger’s Wife, and I’ll certainly read future books by Obreht, but this was was just not my favorite.
