![]() ![]() ![]() I had actually started reading this book just before its longlisting as it was published in paperback a few days earlier and I had heard good things about it from a number of my favourite reviewers on Goodreads (particularly Neil, Robert, Wendy and Suzanne). Please note that the Kindle version of this book kept crashing so I had to read this through the NetGalley app. *Thanks, NetGalley, for giving me a free copy of this book in exchange for my fair and honest opinion. It was delightful, and I could not have pronounced all of the words without it. ![]() Tip: If you are interested in this book, I would HIGHLY recommend the audiobook version. By the last 90 percent of the book, I had a good idea how all of the characters were related but then I didn't understand the ending at all and felt really disappointed that I actually stuck with this book all the way to the end and didn't give up, only to be letdown with no payoff. Even by the halfway point, I was still wondering what was going on and how all of the characters were related. The book is told in alternating time periods and involves different characters. However, it was very long, and I didn't understand the ending. It had some fantasy, some strong prose, and it felt non-American. How do these two stories intersect?īuild Your House Around My Body should have been the perfect book for me. There is also Binh, a young woman who lives in Vietnam. ![]() Winnie is an American woman living in Vietnam, trying to find herself. ![]()
