People are absolutely polarized on whether they loved or hated this 2023 Booker Prize winner. I loved it, but I listened to the excellently performed audiobook, so I was spared the criticisms of excessively lengthy paragraphs and non-obvious dialogue demarcations.

As for the story, the slide into a totalitarian state and the heart-wrenching repercussions for an ordinary family ensnared in the fallout is really well done. It is brutal.

meerlala,

@mlawton it is in my Audiobook library but I don’t want to listen to it before I go to sleep.

@obrien_kat I hope you like it! (Which is really to say, I hope you find the beauty in a well-told but soul-crushing story… 🫠)
