Sweet Lamb of Heaven by Lydia Millet
4.0
I understand why so many have not enjoyed this one. It’s a book that asks more questions than it answers, which I generally love, but it can be frustrating. There are definitely parts that I’m still thinking about and wondering what exactly happened.
It surprised me by folding in some mystery and some horror for a genre-blending novel about trust and paranoia.
Recommended for fans of I’m Thinking of Ending Things—the two have very similar slow-build narration styles with a lot of strange and confusing actions. Millet’s prose was gorgeous and I can’t wait to read more of her work.
