The Gloaming by Melanie Finn
3.0
The Gloaming is a strange book. It makes no bones about being strange, and the structure of competing timelines and deliberately confusing narratives adds to the confusion set forth in the story of a woman separated from her husband in a foreign land after his affair.
While this book didn’t work for me, there’s a lot to credit here in terms of what it was trying to do and how successful it was. Two Dollar Radio specializes in books that are definitely off the beaten path, and this book qualifies, but the structure and point was ultimately lost to me. You might have better luck with it than I.
