A review by ladybaela
The Crane Wife by Patrick Ness
3.0
I'm not quite sure what to say about this book.
It has a beautiful and poetic prose but it is one of the most surreal books I've ever read.
The Crane Wife is a very different read to Mr. Ness's other works but I'm glad that I experienced it as I love his Chaos Walking trilogy.
As for the characters, well I liked George and Kumiko, but I didn't really like Amanda at all. This is partly due to her views on animals in war.
I would recommended this to fans of Patrick Ness and those who enjoy an unusual tale.
