Some books live up to the hype. Some books exceed them. Some books are so profoundly beyond things like recommendations and stars and reviews that it seems pointless to even attempt them. The Starling House is all of those.
The writing is gorgeous. A use of prose and conventions that I haven’t read in a long time. A gripping, complex, compelling story that doesn’t let go. Characters that leap off the page.
this book could be dissected in an English class for a hundred years and never quite run out of topics.
it deserves every accolade and more.
