The Rehearsal by Eleanor Catton

4.0

In her interestingly original debut novel, Catton explores the experiences of secondary school and tertiary college students rehearsing for adult life. It takes time to settle in to her style and structure and to adapt to the way her characters talk in a stream of consciousness that often has a frankness and honesty that we do not usually experience in our everyday interactions. There's a lot going on and perseverance is rewarded.
