The characters were insufferable, there was no real conflict and I did not find either of the interesting, engaging or loveable.

Wasn’t engaging enough. Read it for a book club but didn’t finish by meeting date. 

Will This House Last Forever?

Xanthi Barker

DID NOT FINISH: 15%

Will this house last forever is a painfully aware story of a young woman coming to terms with her absentee father dying in her 20s. It's told in a series of different short stories about different aspects of her father's life from different perspectives. Parts of it were written in the second person perspective which is unique and a pleasant surprise to shift the focus of the story.

I recommend this to anyone who likes to read new writing in interesting ways, that play with perspectives and timelines. It’s a raw, sentimental but also detached perspective of a daughter trying to connect to her poet father after his death.
