A review by kyirrin
The Gray House by Mariam Petrosyan

5.0

This was incredible. It was 700+ pages and I didn't want it to end - even at only 2/3 of the way through, I was saddened thinking about the approaching end. And then once I finished, I wanted to start again from the beginning... The lack of tension/obvious plot seems to be an issue for others, but the author (and props to the translator) executes the slice-of-life and slow-paced revealing of mysteries beautifully. The characters felt very real, like I would find myself just thinking about them, and the events of the book as whole, once I'd finished...
