A review by kerickertful
Great House by Nicole Krauss

4.0

I was excited to read this book based on my love for The History of Love, but it was really quite different in both writing style and theme; I found myself appreciating this more as the book went on. It was a pretty heavy book, and although it probably wasn't the best idea to start it in the dead of winter, I can't imagine reading it during the summer either. I love the way Krauss plays with plot and character. When something big happens, it's unexpected and yet is the only logical conclusion. Beautiful writing, once again.
