  Question

  Would this suit a mixed group where half of us don't usually read this genre?

  • Daniel Whitfield

    We paired it with a shorter nonfiction title and the contrast made both books better.

  The dialogue does an enormous amount of work here. Characters reveal themselves through what they refuse to say.

  Gifted two copies after finishing. It's the kind of book you want other people to have read.

  • Oluwaseun Adeyemi

    Our host built the whole discussion around chapter nine. It carried a full ninety minutes.

  • Clara Vandermeer

    I did the audiobook and the narration is excellent, though the print edition has a few visual touches worth seeing.

  Question

  Does this work as a standalone read, or should I start with the author's earlier title first?

  • Hiroshi Nakamura

    Agreed on the ending. It's open, but not vague — the author gives you everything you need.

    I'd say sixteen and up is fine. There's nothing graphic, just some emotionally heavy ground.
