A review by satashan
The Luminaries by Eleanor Catton

5.0

This knocked me down. Every chapter with Te Rau Tauwhare made me cry and feel homesick. I also didn't realise I was so into mystery-ish fiction until I read this and will definitely be reading a lot more of this genre. The pacing right at the end made me flip through this way faster than I expected. Probably top 3 books of 2022 for me.
