Case Histories by Kate Atkinson
3.0
challenging dark emotional mysterious reflective sad slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I listened to this on audiobook so it's a different experience for me. The narrator was great at conveying the various persons... 

The stories (intertwined) are gripping. I think Atkinson is masterful at crafting a mood, and illuminating the inner life of her characters. 

Ultimately, I'm not sure I found the resolution as satisfying as I might have wanted. And it left me sad... So this isn't for everyone, especially if you're in a downbeat mood.
