Sour Cherry by Natalia Theodoridou
dark
mysterious
slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? Character
- Strong character development? No
3.5
Truth is a dangerous thing. It has teeth, which it uses to eat uncertainty, to eat possibilities. I like my stories to be just stories, and in their telling, to leave the world with more possibility than it had before.
I think this one was too literary for me, and weirdly too long? It's a pretty short book. But it has some really lovely passages, and I'd definitely read Theodoridou's next book.
