A Separation by Katie Kitamura

3.0

I wasn't really sure what to think of this novel, and I feel like the author wasn't sure either. It's a hesitant hello, like the friend who hasn't quite found their voice yet. The prose is lovely with long sentences and poetic descriptions of little things that make the piece seem alive, and the plot is simple, easy enough to follow but with a multitude of complexity. However, the narrator borders on being overly neurotic which is made even more apparent by the lack of plot line.
