All These Perfect Strangers: Review

All These Perfect StrangersAll These Perfect Strangers by Aoife Clifford
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

I felt completely detached from this story. Clifford uses the clunky narrative device of having Pen, her character, write a journal as an exercise for her therapist. The story alternates between the present with her therapist, and the past, at university. I kept on waiting for the tension, and I kept hoping for compelling characters. None of that happened by page 60 so I gave up.

Thank you, Netgalley, for the opportunity to read this novel.

I write historical fiction, mostly from the perspective of young people who are thrust in the midst of war.
