I’ve been actively avoiding all Pandemic fic, but my best friend recommended this one to me. I absolutely loved it. I listened to the audiobook narrated by Louise Erdrich, and her voice pulled me right into the story. It’s a quiet, thoughtful, and interesting book, but it’s hard to put words to why I loved it so much. I normally don’t like long, sad literary fiction, but the main character in The Sentence was so compelling. I loved being in the space of her mind and heart, and in the end it felt like a beautiful way to process some of those Pandemic years.
