A review by julesanne
The Society of Reluctant Dreamers by José Eduardo Agualusa

4.0

Translated from Portuguese, this novel takes place in Angola. I found myself needing to reference Agonolan political history at the start of the novel to have a better understanding of the story. The story reminds me of hearing someone explain a dream they had. Like a dream, the novels moves around over a few decades and people move in and out of the story and can be rather confusing. I am glad I read the digital version so I could reference Angolan history, and Angolan and Brazil locations. I debated if I should continue reading the story, questioning if was worth my time. I am glad I read the novel, it makes for rather interesting read.
