I’m not going to lie I requested the ARC of this from NetGalley because that cover has me in an utter choke hold. Stunning.
I do plan to buy this book in a physical copy, and read it after I have read some of Camus litterateur. I also hope that at a later date in a mind set more keen on this microscope observation, I may have a better time with it.
My Nemesis is a very intellectual portrayal of Tessa and her relationships with the people surrounding her, somewhat warped, morally grey and challenging to read at times. The betrayal runs deep and had myself feeling many emotions most prominently a combination of frustration and empathy.
Tessa’s exploration into these connections, with Wah in particular forces her to open her own eyes. The discussions are interesting, I however did not feel any connection to any of the characters, I also found the language highly elevated throwing me out of my depths. Like I said I do plan to give this another go, but only read this if you enjoy a slow conversation between highly intelligent individuals.
“So what does that make us, Camus and me and someone like Charlie? Fantasists like Don Juan? Or only people who need, now and again, to seek refuge from the reality of their lives, the truth of themselves?”
