Tremor by Teju Cole

3.0

‘tremor’ is a vital novel about history, art and the meaning of living amongst violence. the writing is eloquent and profound, as we follow the narrator during the beginning and end, and see life through his eyes as well as his thoughts and questions for life. it was beautifully written and it was definitely unlike anything i’ve read this year, but i couldn’t help to be a bit let down by the sudden shift of pov’s halfway through the book, especially since i was invested in tunde’s story. i found it a bit confusing to follow and figure out who was narrating at first. other than that, ‘tremor’ was honestly a refreshing read overall.
