#NotAllManBookersAreForEveryone

The Luminaries | Eleanor Catton

I read this book at the beginning of 2018. A book set during the New Zealand gold rush, it had a lot going for it. Unfortunately, it was a bit too dense for me. It‘s the 2013 winner of the Man Booker prize. #rushrush #heatofjuly

Cinfhen I tried this one too, but I bailed as well... #NotAllManBookersAreForEveryone 6y
AmyG I stuck with it and loved it. But yes, a very dense, slow read. 6y
Cathythoughts I also bailed. ... didn‘t hold my interest .. 😵 6y
