I was a bit apprehensive about the first person plural, as I found it really limiting and exhausting in [b:The Buddha in the Attic 10464963 The Buddha in the Attic Julie Otsuka https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1327878988l/10464963.SX50.jpg 15369956], but I warmed up to it. And, contrary to the other book, the “we” mostly dissolved into actual names and faces. In the end, it felt very fitting. As there was a clear “us” versus “them”. The generation that was born into a world that's slowly escalating , and the generation that let it come to this. Added to this all is the narrative's reinterpretation of biblical events. Which definitely doesn't sound like my sort of thing. But somehow this turned into a very compelling, sad, witty, occasional bonkers, not-too-serious, and fast-paced read.
