A review by tnanz
Sweet Lamb of Heaven by Lydia Millet

4.0

This book was VERY well written. I’m a huge fan of Millet’s writing, she is incredibly compelling. But I just felt like too much went unexplained here. I think the balance between the grandiose and the specific really tripped her up here: a lot of the ideas wouldn’t have needed to be explained if there was a different scope but she kind of wrote herself into a trap. Would still recommend this book but it’s not up to the standard of her other works.
