Last House by Jessica Shattuck
2.0
I had heard of Jessica Shattuck's previous books but had not read any personally so I was not sure what to expect.
Last House is more of a story that has some references to historical events but I would not call it historical fiction. The story starts post WW2 and continues for decades focusing on two families. The house (Last House) could be considered a character of the story. I didn't feel connected to any of the characters.
This is a case, I believe, that not all books are for all people. It wasn't that the writing was poor. I just found the story to be boring. I was forcing myself to pick it up and after 30% I have decided to throw in the towel.
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
