After Me Comes the Flood by Sarah Perry
2.0

Worthy but dull. The structure is the most interesting thing about it. Some chapters are first person, some are third, and they all jump around to different characters. It's disorientating, but it's clearly meant to be so, which makes that aspect of it really very well done.

It's also reasonably well-written. It is, however, dragged out to the nth degree, which made the entire reading experience somewhat tedious. I can't help but think it would have been more effective as a novella.
