OK, I did like this book

Nothing to See Here by Kevin Wilson

February 17, 2022 by Zoë Leave a Comment

I’ve gone back and forth on this book. When I started writing this post I felt like there wasn’t really much to it, an intriguing plot and not much else. But now, coming back to it about a month later (and after having meditated this evening) I think there’s something more to it.

I bought this a few months ago as from a recommendation from i09. The book starts with a description of a battle, time or setting initially unclear, just a description of the ruined landscape and “the sodden bundles that cried aloud the emptiness and the […]
