A review by lamorcom
The Summer Without Men by Siri Hustvedt

3.0

3.5 This would have been four stars, but as a lover of pared down writing, this was a little flowery for me. I enjoyed reading about an almost solely female cast however, and all generations were authentically represented. I enjoy Hustvedt’s writing about visual art too, especially as the descriptions don’t come across as pretentiously (to me) as might be expected from some of the wordplay within the writing.
