ajnsmiths 's review for:

The Vulnerables by Sigrid Nunez
5.0
reflective slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

Nunez, a master of the short novel, turns her immense talent to the time of the pandemic and lockdown in NYC   
The solitary female narrator in her book, between musing on her past experiences and the purpose of writing itself, ends up living with a young man who is essentially a stranger to her and also a parrot named Eureka. Her books are hard to describe, the best thing to say is read them - all of them.
