The Imperfectionists by Tom Rachman

---

Eh. This was ok. Nothing stellar. Rachman can create richly detailed characters, & this book seemed to be only a vehicle for his talent at that. The story about the newspaper seemed secondary, and thus I never felt compelled to keep reading...there was no real story...just well-crafted crafted characters. But even those didn't make me want to finish it. I returned it, sans guilt, with 30 pages left.
