While the premise is fascinating - and I find myself pondering it - this really isn’t my kind of book so it seems unfair of me to rate it.
There are some really important core ideas in this book that everyone starting a business - no matter how big or small - can benefit from understanding.
Great plot which riffs on the theories of quantum mechanics whilst weaving in historical context between the two world wars and the woeful state of mental health treatment in the period. Well-written,, interesting characters, and twists and turns until the very last page. What’s not to like?
A short, page-turner that captures the absurd mismatch of values and expectations that occur when two very different cultures are exposed to each other and when the little shared language that exists only serves to deepen the confusion rather than demystify it. If you've lived abroad, it will likely resonate.
