While this book is beautifully written and poetic I just couldn‘t connect with it, for a book about grief it failed to even make me a little sad.
I liked the idea that the story was told through a series of items that were white but I object to the amount of blank pages in the print addition yes I am sure they have a deeper meaning but I just kept thinking of the trees.
Unique but not for me.

I am glad this was selected for the MBI short list as I would never have picked it up otherwise. The blurb sounds like the kind of book I would hate and the cover just doesn‘t do it for me but once inside the pages it is a different story.
I enjoyed the narrative structure each chapter switches to the viewpoint of a new character with a loose connection to Vernon or Alex and starts further in the future than the previous one 👇
#MBI2018 now onto the side of the book I don‘t like the misogynistic views of women and this is just one example of many. Not sure if as a female author is this how is how she thinks men think or if there is a larger point to the use of language...
Had to be prudent 💸 These are the books that came home with me. Virginie Despentes has become an auto-buy for me and she's on the #MBI2018 longlist. I was also waiting for an affordable paperback of the Zinzi Clemmons and was very pleased to see this 😍
The books I'm most interested in reading from the Man Booker International longlist. Should be totally doable 🤣 #MightBeLuckyToReadOne
