An Unnecessary Woman by Rabih Alameddine

2.0

I really wanted to like this book. It had such potential, but the author kept going off on random stream-of-consciousness tangents that I found distracting. (I'm not a huge fan of Virginia Wolff either, so there you go). There were so many moments where the book would start to grab me, and I'd think, "Finally! It's getting good!" only to have it drift off again. I'm in the minority, however...my book club really liked this book, and a few people loved it and said it was one of their all-time favorites.
