A review by theellamo
The Men by Sandra Newman

dark mysterious reflective medium-paced

• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes

3.75

Newman’s storytelling simultaneously soothes and spooks me. Her exploration of relationships, love, society, disaster mitigation, and how we change one another are as equally haunting as they are humbling.
