Book Review of This Must Be the Place

This Must Be the Place
njmom3 avatar reviewed on + 1368 more book reviews


About 15 different narrators. About 15 different locations. Time that begins in 2010 and reaches back to 1944 and forward to 2016. These are the intertwined narratives that comprise This Must Be the Place by Maggie O'Farrell. The individual chapters envelop me in the perspective being told in the chapter, but then the chapter ends, and I am pulled away to a different person, time, and place. All together, it becomes a few too many perspectives.
