I just finished Salt Houses by Hala Hyan
Its a strange book. The first half is a slow build up, the second half sucks you in.
Its about 3 generations facing war and conflict. There is a human story here, though the characters could have been more developed. More well formed.
I liked this immensely. Made me very introspective on what identity and belonging mean in this ravaged world.
I also liked it, that the book forces you to inspect your own understanding of the world around you.
On a scale of 10, maybe a 9. Definitely a spell binding read. Especially the second half.
Do grab it.
At 320 pages brings my 2021 total to 2692 pages.
