Bridgman reviewed Unsettled Ground by Claire Fuller
Review of 'Unsettled Ground' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
A terrific book, but [a:Claire Fuller|2852315|Claire Fuller|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1634225502p2/2852315.jpg]'s [b:Unsettled Ground|53341634|Unsettled Ground|Claire Fuller|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1591958345l/53341634.SY75.jpg|74659792] is almost unrelentingly grim. The main characters are a faded, middle-aged brother and sister who never lived the lives they should have.
There are cracks of light toward the end, though, and you don't get completely depressed by reading it.
I read it in four days, which for me, is super-fast, so count that as a vote for readability. Overall, I found it to be like something [a:Anne Tyler|457|Anne Tyler|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1529285150p2/457.jpg] would write if she were in a dark mood and lived in England.
