3.5 stars
Described as a semi-autobiographical account of Michael Chabon's grandfather, this novel follows one man's life from his childhood as a troublemaker to his experiences in World War II, his marriage to a troubled refugee and his relationships with family. Beautifully written but organized in a way that jumps around in tie in whip lashing frequency, this is a very slow book to read and occasionally slows to a snail's pace. I still recommend this book, but suggest against trying to read too quickly. I received a digital ARC of this book through edelweiss in exchange for an honest review.
