The Antidote, the second novel from Karen Russell, a Pulitzer Prize finalist with her debut, is an astonishingly magical read!
This novel is set during the Dust Bowl and the Great Depression of the 1930s, yet it remains relevant with today's issues. It addresses issues such as poverty, racism, misogyny, memory and above all human connection
This is not a book to be rushed through; it demands reflection and thought, and that is its greatest strength. The essence of this novel reached the depths of my core, leaving me profoundly moved and contemplative.
Thank you to NetGalley and Chatto & Windus for providing me with an early review copy of this book.
