A review by kat7890erina
The Crane Wife by Patrick Ness

4.0

3.5 stars

If you've read Ness's YA novel Release, you will understand the vibe of The Crane Wife almost immediately. A mythology (largely) of Ness's own making threads itself into the ordinary lives of ordinary people whose very real emotional experiences are laid heartbreakingly bare for our desperate consumption. Beautiful prose. Existential messages.
