alexture 's review for:

Time's Mouth by Edan Lepucki

 
I'm not really a time travel enthusiast, as I said in my review of This is how you lose the time war.
Maybe that's why I loved this novel so much while many others who love time travel hated everything about it.
Maybe it's also because I love stories with women and stories with communes and stories with scary cults that are scary because they are so normal and imaginable.
I loved every single character in this novel, including the ones I loved to hate. Not a single person left me indifferent. The story was gripping, and I could not put the book down − tant pis for the sleepless half-night I spent on it.
Time's Mouth was near perfect. It's the best novel I've read this month, and probably one of the best of the past few years.
