ambershelf 's review for:
Build Your House Around My Body
by Violet Kupersmith
Two young women go missing in the forest near an abandoned rubber plantation; the first girl vanished in 1986, and the second in 2011. While the incidents occurred decades apart, the women, their bodies, and the land are all intricately connected. With expansive world-building and lustrous writing, Kupersmith weaves an epic tale that is part thriller mystery, revenge fantasy, and ghost story.
YOUR HOUSE is a book that is impossible to summarize without giving too much away because of the large cast of characters. Nonetheless, Kupersmith does a terrific job of giving each character a unique voice and backstory and brilliantly connects their stories that span 50 years of Vietnamese history.
I listened to the audiobook and thought the narrator performed beautifully to keep the story engaging, especially with all the characters. But because YOUR HOUSE starts with two parallel storylines of the two disappearances and jumps around in time, it can be a bit confusing to follow on audiobook. And perhaps that's why I didn't quite get the ending
