A review by ponckumari
The Condition by Jennifer Haigh
3.0
This book takes awhile to pick up and slowly draws you in. I will be honest, i didn't like the descriptive paragraphs and at times I just skimmed through it especially in the beginning.
But once hooked I read every word.
This is not a medical book but more a reflection on character and it was wonderful to see each one either slowly get out of their comfort zone or remain steadfast in their cucoon. I can't pick any favourites as the author made every character & their quirks believable...so believable that i still couldn't like Paulette when I put the book down.
Similar to 'Ghana must Go' by Taiye Selasi but without the mandatory heart-wrenching any novel set in Africa brings.
