We Are All Ghosts in the Forest by Lorraine Wilson

4.0

I really enjoyed this book but I can't really put my finger on why. To be honest not much happens, and what does happens happens really slowly. It isn't your usual end of the world dystopian novel, in fact you never really find out exactly what has happened, but I think that is perhaps part of it's charm. It's beautifully written with an elegant turn of phrase and an almost ethereal vibe to it. It's at times quite spooky, and surreal but the characters are so boldly written that it manages to stay grounded. It's a novel about belonging, about finding your place and about the worst and the best of humanity. I can see that it wouldn't be for everyone but I very much enjoyed it.
