Lark Ascending was the September pick for my book club. It's not necessarily a book I would select on my own, but I'm so glad I gave it a chance. I loved it! And that's why book clubs are awesome! (I just joined one after years of thinking about it and then letting my social anxiety get the best of me.. 10/10 recommend... the book club, not the social anxiety).
The story has the same general mood as Station Eleven (which I loved). For such a short book, there is intense emotional depth. Short scenes make it bearable though, which I found masterful from a writing perspective. I blazed through and cried and smiled and reflected and worried and sighed with relief. So heartwrenching at times, but so good.
I will definitely read more Silas House.
