Mr B's review

I read this in one hypnotised afternoon, and it continues to simmer and resonate. Its narrator, having grown up with the memory of an older sister who died only hours after birth, finds her way around a foreign city, where her own voice becomes inseparable from that which her sister never had. Lyrical yet simple, the new story by the Booker International winning author of ‘The Vegetarian’ is a meditative joy which feels like nothing else you’ll encounter this year.
