Dec 2021 Book Club - The House in the Cerulean Sea

@Karen , I am guessing a lot of people feel that way.
Like you ,I also think he is dumb for not realizing it would put people of his book, and by actually giving interviews about it made matters worse. Probably think he is clever at "putting light on the subject " but since no one realized what the back story was about before he pointed it out, he made a poor job of doing even that.

 

Finally finished the paper (hardbacks are not my friend) book. Now I have to go find this GR review but I really liked the book and I'm a bit scared of what the review will change for me!

 

I read the acknowledgements and authors bit in the back of all paper /ebooks & I'm amazed and disappointed he didn't mention any of this there where it would have been the perfect platform to highlight it if he wished to raise awareness. Without this GR review that clearly points out the background, the book comes across completely differently with more emphasis on general prejudice & mythical creatures & bureaucracy to me

 

I didn't mean to quote myself above, I meant to quote/tag you Vivi
