Salt Houses by Hala Alyan

emotional reflective sad medium-paced

---

I may have not been in the mood for an emotional family drama, because for some reason, this didn’t fully work for me. I thought this was beautifully written, but I never fully connected with the characters. I also had some trouble with time while reading. Sometimes sections of a chapter would follow a non-linear timeline, and my brain would frequently lose track of what things were happening in the past versus present.
