• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes

5.0

Confusing little book in the best way. It will stay with me and for a good reason. Helen DeWitt found the very best length to say enough but not too much.
The theme of the book is so carefully constructed and so uniquely set. I just truly loved it.
