The Apartment by Ana Menéndez
3.0
The Apartment is a chronicle of various inhabitants of the building & land, over a span of hundreds of years. What started out as short character sketches developed into more detailed day-to-day happenings, the closer to “present day” the characters became.
I would’ve loved to have more details for the book’s earliest characters - by the time we meet Lana (in present day), there are so many other storylines to think about that I didn’t fully connect with Lana.
Is that because there wasn’t a stronger, more flushed out history for Lana to draw from?
Ultimately, this is not personally my favorite thing to read. BUT I’m still pondering how to fully embrace the ending, which is always a sign of a well written work!
Thank you NetGalley for this audiobook recording.
