Woman, Eating by Claire Kohda

3.0

I don't, as a rule, appreciate women's revenge narratives, and this novel does contain elements of such. It's very rooted in contemporary culture - there are references to WhatsApp for example- and it doesn't feel like a particularly timeless piece of literature. I liked the character work and appreciated that the protagonist was complex. But I don't really know where the overarching point about mixed race heritage went and think it could have been explored in a clearer way. Not bad, but not something I'd read again.
