A review by pearloz
Inland by Téa Obreht
5.0
What a weird, interesting, well-written, deeply-engrossing novel. I bought the book based on the author alone and did my best not to even read a synopsis, so I had not expected a either or quasi-western, nor the deep dive into the brief and wonderful history of the Camel Corps.
Nora's half of the book I found deeply compelling and engaging--I lived in every moment which was a treat as it seems every moment of approximately 2 or 3 days was explored and turned over and reviewed. The story of her all-but-physical infidelity, the story of her missing husband and sons, the psychic niece, the boy Toby, gramma, Crace...all of it coalesced into a satisfying conclusion.
