A review by kbratten
The Hundred-Year House by Rebecca Makkai

5.0

Barely 5 stars. The last 15% felt very disconnected and kind of boring. I thought for sure we had done enough looking back and wondering about the past that when we got there I'd care about their stories, but all the characters from the colony felt empty.

Otherwise, what a beautiful story. I'm hooked on Makkai's writing. She has a sharp and natural way with words.
