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

5.0

One of the most beautiful novels I’ve read. Details fit together delicately and perfectly through the decades covered, leaving easter eggs for the reader to slowly uncover. Returned back to previous chapters as my read deepened, finding new bits to highlight, new connections to make. Each piece fitting together to complete a gorgeous, intricate puzzle. A book I want to immediately return to in order to flesh out all the connections I missed during the first read. 

Appreciate representation of queer people throughout the 20th century - reminder that we’ve always been here.
