The Perpetual Ending by Kristen Den Hartog
My rating: 4/5 cats
again—canada equals beautiful. and despite my natural aversion to twins, and the fact that i am dead inside, i was…moved. i felt a deep sorrow from this book that gave me shivers. i discovered this book playing the library game with “magical realism” as the keyword but don’t be fooled—it’s not. at all. it’s just a sad family story interspersed with fairy tales the character has written which are less fairy tales and more thinly veiled personal stories too bleak and sexualized for children. no magic except in the skill of the canadian author. i think i’m going to have to move. take me, canada!
