A review by bobthebookerer
The Private Lives of Trees by Alejandro Zambra
3.0
I enjoyed this book's predecessor, Bonsai, for the way it told a story within a story, and navigated a truly singular narrative style that was at turns confusing and crystal clear.
I will confess, however, that this book, a meta-commentary of Bonsai, was perhaps one extra layer too far for me, and I was occasionally a little confused by it. There were still many moments of interest, but I could not always connect the dots back to where it was going.
I received an advanced copy of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
