Mind-bending genius

 

 ⭑⭑⭑⭑⭑  A mind-bending, reality-altering corker of a novel. Hats off to Cole Haddon for this complex achievement. A book of this magnitude with so many dangling threads feels vast but so rewarding as connections are made and the reader grasps how this book hangs together. I really enjoyed Gracie and Bobby's story and the many, many additional stories threaded delicately together.

Psalms for the End of the World is an emotional kaleidoscope. The heart of this novel is about the personal experience of so many and how they come to be linked together. The cast of characters is wide, and fair to say, a bit confusing, but worth relaxing into the story with trust knowing it will all make sense further down the line. I loved the history jumping and the people living in all these differing timelines. Touching and sad, funny too. This novel delivers a story of epic scale with tenderness and compassion.
