The Latecomer by Jean Hanff Korelitz
4.0

Less twisty than some of her other novels—which makes it a slower burn than others but the characters are so richly developed and the world so clear that their fate is what carry readers forward—all deeply unhappy in their own way you hope for them to find peace and happiness. It’s investigating a lot of different ideas—identity, art, family and some it does better than others but I think even when it feels convenient at times that’s ok because it’s so honest about other aspects of grief and isolation and finding one’s path in the world.
