The Scent of Distant Family: A Novel by sid sibo

emotional reflective slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix

5.0

Who is family? How do we find family? How is our understanding of family different from animals understanding of family? 

This contemplative novel starts off slow, unwrapping these themes as it ramps up tension. The sentence structure is poetic and the characters so solid you can almost touch them and you can definitely hear them breathe.
