A review by parsnipsnap
A Long Petal of the Sea by Isabel Allende
Did not finish book. Stopped at 10%.
we have our first dnf of the year 🎉
Couldn't handle the "most boring writing of the 2020s" AND the misogyny (aka : the mom of the mc was 14 when she married the dad who was 27 with no comments from the narration ; saying women who wanted to fight for democracy got the action they were looking for when they got raped and slaughtered ; the young ("last") virgin, trembling with shyness and desire)
