Tom Lake by Ann Patchett

Claire’s first review of the year

really liked it

Money to Burn by Asta Olivia Nordenhof

Claire’s last review of the year

it was amazing
Money to Burn by Asta Olivia Nordenhof, translated from Danish by Caroline Waight has a complicated, fascinating and unusual structure. As well as being about a fictional couple - Kurt and Maggie - it is about the narrator's (who is, I'm assuming, Nordenhof) investigation into insurance scam around the fire onboard a ferry called The Scandinavian Star in the 1990s, when 159 died. Kurt invests in the company that buys the ferry, and as well as lea ...more
