A review by roam_
In the Distance by Hernán Díaz

4.0

What a great narrative; haunting, intimate, innocent. Great concept, a variety of characterizations, poetic landscapes, but I did find the plot a bit too pat - so useful for creating the isolation which is essential to the book but just too one-dimensional.

And - finally - it is one of the books where I just care about the main character a lot. Channelling maternal instincts I think - why it is a 4 instead of a 3.
