What we liked about this book: We found both the story and the philosophical questions of personhood that arose throughout to be engaging and thought-provoking. We rooted for the main character’s journey towards personal agency.

What we didn’t like: Setting the story in the 1920s and not explicitly mentioning the issues of racism and sexism that would were inherent to those times was a bit confusing for most of us.

Verdict: We liked it! 3 likes, 1 dislike
