pickThe Antidote is so different: it‘s historical fiction but felt fresh. The point of view is constantly changing so the action is slow and even feels a bit repetitive but I think that is actually a good thing for this novel. There‘s also Wizard of Oz vibes, weirdly. I hadn‘t encountered that in other reviews I‘ve read, but the town is Uz, and there‘s a scarecrow. Stolen lands, a collective misremembering & willful ignorance, it‘s America!
squirrelbrain Great review! I borrowed this from the library but didn‘t bring it to Gladstone‘s- now I wish I had! 1d
Chelsea.Poole @squirrelbrain thanks! There‘s so much going on in The Antidote, it‘s one I didn‘t exactly love while reading but the meaning of it all and thinking back on it makes me appreciate it. If you try it I hope it works for you. Also, I love the Gladstone‘s trip each year. I stalk everyone‘s accounts to see the photos you all post. Have a great weekend! 1d
squirrelbrain You should try to come to Gladstone‘s one year! It‘s such a long way for you, I know, but you‘d love it! 19h
