The Confabulist by Steven Galloway
4.0
Steven Galloway weaves a fascinating thriller/historical-family story in The Confabulist. His writing is elegant in every sense of the word, and uses flashbacks with the lightest and most interesting of touches.
The only thing keeping this book from getting 5 stars from me was the issue of fact vs fiction. Details about Houdini I would not have noticed, but some of inclusions of various political actors were a little too much for me.
Would definitely recommend it across the board, it's a great story and is very beautifully executed.
