A review by readingcities
Eventide by Therese Bohman

5.0

Highly recommend. Academic lethargy, midlife breakup, art world inanity, Stockholm harbor views, the meaning of life. You know. A lot of reviewers describe this as a "feminist" novel, which...what does that even mean? I don't think feminist is shorthand for "a novel about a woman." Also seeing it characterised as a book about "a woman who chose to focus on her career instead of doing what biology dictates - finding a mate and having children" when...it's just a novel about a woman who has a job and isn't married. Half of the narrative has our heroine (deliciously) musing about how bored she is at work and how annoying she finds her coworkers. Do we really have to do this? But that's a quibble with marketing, not with this book, which I really enjoyed.
