The jumping off point for this novel is ostensibly the kidnapping of Carl Fletcher and the impact it continues to have on his family decades later. But it may well be the continued impact of the holocaust and the actions people can justify taking to keep their family ‘safe‘ or, in the case of the Fletchers, incredibly wealthy.
Interesting look at generational trauma, privilege and entitlement. The ending kind of deflated me. But true.
It‘s only right then that you ever truly understand how big and unsearchable the world actually is—how it is far too big to find something in it that is really lost 🏭💵🪦
Three generations of a Jewish-American family battle the traumas passed down from each generation prior.
Inheritance ✨ Trauma ✨ Wealth
I don‘t know what to think about this one. Despite good writing, the long chapters of anxiety for both Beamer and Nathan were neither enjoyable nor captivating for me to read. Getting past the brothers I was interested in the impact of generational trauma ignored and did like the rest of the book. I‘m giving it a so-so but I might upgrade later if time leaves me with stronger thoughts about the latter part of the book.
I debated bailing on this book for a couple of days and tried to push through, but I‘m just so bored with it.
Also, the chapters are way too long and it was hard to find a good stopping point when I wanted to take a break.
Bailed at 62% 😐🥱
Slowly plowing through this one. Can relate so much to this part!
