Weather by Jenny Offill

3.0

This book is written in short, sentence long vignettes that form a picture of a woman’s life. She’s a librarian, she’s worried about her brother, the end of the world, she might have an affair, she might get some dental work done. It’s enjoyable but there’s no narrative thread that keeps you reading (so arty!) and in-between reads I found myself totally forgetting what the hell was going on. All in all I found it a bit meh and am not sure what all the fuss is about.
