Kindle deal enabled me to finally read this much-anticipated book. I'm sad that I didn't love it as much as I thought I would. I could never connect to Lewis and felt that we kept being told he was so wonderful but not shown. The odds of one person being affected by this mutation thing so closely seemed unlikely to me. The different narratives were also a bit disjointed to me. Still, the writing was well done and I'm not sorry I read it.
A fun little novella about a woman who suddenly turns into a fox, and how her husband manages. Author was part of the Bloomsbury Group.
Although very different in style and tone, reminded me a bit of the recent memoir Raising Hare.
Both suggest humans can learn a lot from wild animals.
Another prompt complete for #192025!
I really loved this unique story. When I first heard the topic, I thought it sounded crazy. I was wrong. This was beautifully written and I enjoyed it so much. The passages where Lewis professes his love for Wren are especially poignant. This is honestly so good!
A rare 5 star from me.@loved the book (though not lots of information) and the paintings and art that was included. A very quick read too.
To start tomorrow.
A beautiful story about love and the resiliency required to sustain hope. Shortly after Wren and Lewis are married, he is diagnosed with a genetic mutation that is turning him into a great white shark. This novel follows our two main characters, as well as Wren's mother, Angela. Most of the chapters are short (one or two paragraphs), making this a quick read.
Well written but it just wasn‘t for me. I thought I would struggle with the magical realism of people mutating into animals but that surprisingly wasn‘t an issue. I was bored and really had to push myself to finish it. ⭐️⭐️
