The Latecomer by Jean Hanff Korelitz

5.0

The Latecomer by Jean Hanff Korelitz delves into the lives of an affluent Jewish family in Brooklyn. I previously read and loved The Plot, so I was excited to receive an advance copy for this one. I found it fascinating and was immediately drawn into the characters' stories, which started from the late 1960s and moved into present-day.

Though the book is fairly long, it doesn't feel that way when reading it. The characters aren't the most likeable, but their stories drew me in. I loved seeing how their lives intersected. I absolutely adore the author’s sharp writing style. I listened to the audiobook which was masterfully narrated by Julia Whelan.

Thank you Celadon Books and Macmillan Audio for providing this ebook and audiobook ARC.
