pick⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 Stories of a woman and a couple who lived in and renovated the same Paris apartment at different times. Very contemplative, dealing with themes of marriage, monogamy, sexuality, parenthood, and feminism. It felt a lot like a more cerebral and less bananapants All Fours, which I just finished and didn‘t love, so I think that brought my view of this down a bit. Well written but a soft pick. #ToB25 #ToB25longlist
pickA strong pick for me from the #TOBlonglist. I loved the different storylines with their overlapping components, centered around an apartment in Paris, feminism, fidelity and motherhood. Some of the connections between the stories were brilliantly done. I got a little bored at times in the third part, but overall my kind of book.
so-soI‘m not sure what I think of this. I like the story split into part 1 and 3, but the story in part 2 was bewildering on audio. It took me half of it to realize the perspective kept switching back and forth between husband and wife (read by one person with no vocal changes to inform the listener), making it hard to follow and make sense of. I can‘t quite give it a pick.

pick#ToB25Longlist In the 1st part of the book a woman, living in a Paris apartment, is coming to terms with a miscarriage and the fact that her husband works in London.
The 2nd part is set in the same apartment, years earlier. A couple lives there and the wife is very much into female liberation
Both parts are terrific. The 3rd part is a continuation of the 1st and that one fell a bit short. I‘m not sure what it adds even though it was engaging
