A review by adam_marcus
Black Swan Green by David Mitchell

emotional funny reflective medium-paced

5.0

Black Swan Green's brilliance really snuck up on me. Was only reading this as a bridge between Cloud Atlas and Jacob de Zoet, and did not expect to stumble onto an all-timer.

This is one of those rare books that feels like it was written just for me. It took me back to my childhood, wrapped me up in bubble wrap and dropped me off a cliff. In a good way.

Guttingly nostalgic and bittersweet.
David Mitchell does not miss.
