Book 91 of my 2024 Reading Challenge
read from November 29 - December 2
The Keep
by Jennifer Egan
My Opinion
4 stars
This is the kind of book that I can't really describe even after reading it. It gave me Shutter Island vibes with the gothic, isolated setting and unclear narration.
I'm pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed this book so much because I usually get frustrated quickly when I can't get a firm grasp on what's happening. But this book sailed along and even though it didn't make sense, it made sense. If that makes sense. Like the characters weren't acting rationally and there were fantastical elements but they were also acting in a way that made sense based on how they were written. Alternating scenes from the castle to the prison helped a lot.
