abuelaev_2017 's review for:

Gingerbread by Helen Oyeyemi

2.0

---

This was a Book Club selection and I really wanted to like it. But after several attempts (audio and hardcover) I was never able to get comfortable with the narrative or characters. In the end, I have no idea what this book is about.

Some of the language is quite lovely but I'm probably too linear to enjoy or appreciate this meandering story.
