Babel (EBook, 2022, Harper Voyager) 4 stars

From award-winning author R. F. Kuang comes Babel, a thematic response to The Secret History …

This month's book club pick. I loved most of this, but wish it spent less time lecturing me and gave some more nuance to the characters. I don't really need convincing about it's themes, and I think the message might have come across as more powerful if I was allowed to think about what was happening rather than being told how I should feel about it all the time.

When it was focusing on the plot and characters it was wonderful.
