A review by bxlbooks91
Het smelt by Lize Spit
5.0
Very intense pageturner. The whole build-up is superb, and the references to typical Flemish customs were delightful.
4*
Update: decided to bump this to 4.5* on Goodreads (but rounded it up). It's still stuck in my head, a lot of Spit's small anecdotes stay with me, and the way she constructed everything to blend together in a beautiful end chapter was just breathtaking in hindsight. The characters and plot in this book will stay with me for a long time, and it deserves the hype! The best plot driven novel I read this year, and the third best overall.
