Ladivine by Marie NDiaye
5.0
When I started this book I honestly was put off by the writing style with each sentence being 8 lines long.
It's a very strange depressing book about how much of ourselves we choose to show the world and those around us. It's about the complicated relationships we have with our loved ones and explores whether we can ever truly know someone. The loneliness in this book was palpable. Although the writing took some time to get used to I can honestly say this was one of the best books I have ever read and I will think about it for the rest of my life.
I definitely see why this author is so famous. I look forward to reading her other books. However this book certainly isn't for everyone.
