4.0

 Zorrie is a slim novel spanning the life of the titular character and encompassing many key events of the twentieth century, although they are mostly in the background. This is a very quiet, insular novel notably for its mostly rural setting and sparse, yet beautiful writing. There is a lot of pain and hardship in Zorrie’s life yet she doggedly carries on. Best saved for when you are in the mood for something slow and melancholic.
