A review by schnauzermum
Flamingo by Rachel Elliott

2.0

This was a book group choice and I found it a quick read. It tells the story of a homeless man, Daniel, who returns to the part of the country where he spent some time as a young child and where he and his mother were welcomed by their exuberant neighbours. The narrative shifts between the 1980s and 2018 and there are multiple points of view, although the motivations of some of the characters are not entirely clear. Other readers will enjoy this more than I did. For my tastes, the prose was too choppy with overuse of sentence fragments and very short paragraphs.
