A review by jennie_cole
Inland by Téa Obreht
2.0
Inland is a story set in the southwest in the late 1800s. It is broken into two parts two in an alternating pattern. You have Nora Lark in Arizona and Lurie Mattie traveling all over. Lurie's story spans a long time and is the journey of a former outlaw and a camel. Nora's story mainly takes place over a 48ish hour period in 1893.
While their stories come together in the very end I did not find either of them very compelling. I was also disappointed in the ending. I was not a fan of Tea Obreht's first novel, The Tiger's Wife, and wanted to give her another try to see if it was just that book, but it seems that I am not a big fan of her writing.
Now if you liked her first book then please get this one as I think you might like it.
