A review by ageorgallis
The Son of Man by Jean-Baptiste Del Amo

4.0

This was a slow-burn suspense novel. The writing style is a bit dense, so it was a little hard to understand at first but once I got used to it, I was drawn in quickly to the story. I liked that the timeline navigates between present-day, at Les Roches, and the day the father returns into the family’s lives. I hated the father, but appreciated how he was made complex by his own issues with his father. I absolutely loved the ending and the scenes leading up to it - I was holding my breath. This book had stunning prose, suspenseful build, and deep explorations of family. 

Thank you to Grove Atlantic and NetGalley for the ARC.
