I Think We've Been Here Before
I Think We've Been Here Before | Suzy Krause
4 posts | 3 read | 2 to read
Marlen and Hilda Jorgensen's family has received two significant pieces of news: one, Marlen has been diagnosed with a terminal illness. Two, a cosmic blast is set to render humanity extinct within a matter of months. It seems the coming Christmas on their Saskatchewan farm will be their last. Preparing for the inevitable, they navigate the time they have left together. Marlen and Hilda have channeled their energy into improbably prophetic works of art. Hilda's elderly father receives a longed-for visitor from his past, her sister refuses to believe the world is ending, and her teenaged nephew is missing. All the while, her daughter struggles to find her way home from Berlin with the help of an oddly familiar stranger. For everyone, there's an unsettling feeling that this unprecedented reality is something they remember.

A deeply compelling novel about a family navigating the end of the world. Preparing for the inevitable, the family decides through chaos, denial, acceptance, and hope to spend every moment they can together. Beautiful, slow burning, unique, philosophical 4/5 stars

Mehso-so

I‘m not sure how I feel about this book. It was a bit woo-woo at the beginning but I kept reading hoping to understand why Nora‘s car was in 3 places at the same time. I never did find out, but I read until the end and felt unsure… not satisfaction or closing but more unsettled. It isn‘t a bad story, just a bit unsettling I guess.
