Beautifully written but ultimately it seems to be missing that spark. You know, the je ne sais quoi that divides an okay book from a truly good one, or a good one from a great. Perhaps the author succeeded a bit too well with her characters. Agnes, the narrator, is a cipher—things happen to her, but she seems almost indifferent. Fabienne, the true agent, is likewise opaque to the reader, and is also a horrible person. The ending was perfect, though. Recommended if you like literary fiction. Not recommended for those who prefer a plot-driven book.

This book is nasty and uncompromising and raw and painful and in your face. I admire that in a novel.

I didn’t like this book, but I’m giving it three stars because it’s well written and partly I suspect it was a bad reading choice for me at this time rather than a bad book. It’s a downer, but so was The Beekeeper of Aleppo, which I appreciated more. Also CW for lots of scenes of animal suffering and death, mostly birds. I knew that one of the characters was a poacher but didn’t realize there would be so many explicit scenes about it. The book tackles important topics like exploitation of migrant workers and poaching. Unfortunately I felt that these themes took over, at the expense of actual plot or character development. I especially never really believed that Petra would invest so much time and energy into looking for her missing nanny after taking her for granted for almost a decade. It’s an important topic, but as the book went on, I felt that certain scenes and passages were included to emotionally manipulate the reader at the expense of letting the story unfold organically. But clearly I am in the minority as overall this book has great reviews. Fans of literary fiction should definitely check it out.
