Seven Types of Ambiguity by Elliot Perlman

5.0

If you love big, beautiful messes of books like The Goldfinch, 4321, A Suitable Boy and A Little Life, you might join me in wondering why this book isn't better-known. It's a bit more intellectual than some of those stablemates, and it really does make you think. It takes risks with your affections. It makes you question your sympathies. The title suggests nothing will be too easy or have only one reading, and it really ploughs this furrow well, making you turn the pages and turn it over and over long after you've turned the last page.
