The Hired Man by Aminatta Forna

5.0

I think if I had one word for this book it would be "haunting" - and also the tension of not knowing what's going on throughout much of it, this quiet facade and then these flashes of the history that's buried beneath the narrator's Mr. Fix-It exterior. It's not quite like anything I've ever read before. Also, the pacing is amazing.
