A review by whatsbookinjenni
The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco

challenging dark mysterious tense slow-paced

5.0

Not sure I ever would have actually gotten to this without a beach vacation where all I’m doing was reading, and even then it took me 4.5 days (my average at the beach is a book a day)!! But I’m glad I did - super interesting medieval church history (if you are into that kind of thing), mixed with questions of truth, knowledge, poverty…lots of thought provoking stuff! I want to read some smart analysis of it and/or discuss it with someone smart!!
