The Pesthouse by Jim Crace

5.0

Excellent. I really like Crace's voice, and this story comes around so beautifully it's just great. My only quibble is that we never have any clues as to how America comes to be this wasteland of migrants moving east to the ships for a better life. Because we don't have those clues, sometimes it is hard to sink into his imagined world because we can't always see or imagine how the "rules" of the have played out into the vision that Crace sees.
