House of Names by Colm Tóibín
1.0

DNF @ 7%

I was so excited to read this book, but there's something really off about it. The story is told in a non-linear way (as far as I can tell), and the result of this is that there is no built up intrigue as to what will happen. I also feel a startling emotional disconnect with the narration of Clytemnestra. This doesn't feel worth my time.

I received a digital review copy of this title from Edelweiss.
