Years before the novel begins, this feud led King Azaz to agree to imprison the princesses Rhyme and Reason in the Castle in the Air-though in the present, Azaz laments that he ever agreed to this and suggests it’d be better if the princesses return. This forms the basis of his ongoing feud with his brother, the Mathemagician (who believes numbers are superior).

The overall set up of this novel is actually genius in the way that despite us getting a larger insight into this book from the blurb, Penelope manages to throw in curveballs and never once did I find it predictable or obvious. I think a few times, my butterflies got butterflies! No joke! The swoon was off the charts in Gentleman Nine. My grin at times actually hurt my face but I was so invested in the happiness and ease of these characters that I didn’t care. I loved that Amber and Channing had a comedic value to their banter.

It’s also deceiving on the surface, it’s a very quiet book, a character study without a clear plot. My Name is Lucy Barton is a short gut-punch of a novel. ![]() Now I’ve read Strout’s new novel, My Name is Lucy Barton, and I can confidently say I think it will be one of the best books I read this year.
