25 June 2023: I ended up really enjoying Birnam Wood, my book club's selection for this month. It's a slow (not in a bad way) start, really focused on character building. Then the plot starts to take off. Then--really close to the end--it really takes off. And all that character-building earlier pays off even more. I also enjoyed how Eleanor Catton creates these characters who made me cringe, made me mad, but also made me really feel for them.
Of course, the really wonderful pay-off was the fun discussion and get-together I had with Cory and Kaitlyn this afternoon, a visit that stretched into dinner.
