3.5

An indigenous woman who horse dives at a zoo in 1926? This sounded so interesting, and the opening chapter was incredible. However the pacing of this book was glacially slow, every character was static except for one (don't want to give anything away beyond that). And the ending was abrupt and unsatisfactory.

So while I liked the concept, I couldn't find myself wanting to read this again or suggest it to anyone else unless you're maybe from the area, which would be an interesting perspective since the author used to live nearby and took the time to research the area's history. I'm sad to have rated this lower than expected.
