so-soThis book was about a woman who leaves her boyfriend out of the blue one morning and his quest to find her and her's to finally stop traveling.
It was okay, a really interesting premise, but I didn't really like or connect with any of the characters.

pickThis was a fever dream of a novel. Lilia, a young girl, is abducted by her father and they spend the next decade crisscrossing the country to evade a detective. The plot flashes backwards and forwards as the story unfolds. It‘s haunting and beautiful. So many broken people with overlapping lives. The detective‘s daughter and Lilia live parallel lives of loneliness. I loved the slow reveal of the story, though the middle lagged for me.
Petit bonheur quotidien durant ma pause au travail, avec ce biscuit sucré et cette nouvelle lecture. Les voix autour de moi m'aident à me plonger dans l'ambiance de la scêne de carnaval avec laquelle débute le livre.
so-soA young woman is abducted by her father and they almost never stop traveling as she‘s followed by a private investigator hired by her mother. Her boyfriend goes to Montreal to find her. Strange details (why did her mom cover a window and pick up broken glass before the police arrived?) appear throughout that come together in the end. My problem is there‘s an awful lot of philosophizing that doesn‘t change anything about the story. This could / ⬇️

pickThis was the 2009 debut novel of Emily St. John Mandel. It‘s a beautifully written book about love and loss with a mystery at the center. I found the plot a bit implausible but liked it enough to ‘pick‘ although not as much as some of her later work.
