faticake reviewed Perspective(s) by Laurent Binet
Silly Fun in Medieval Europe
5 stars
I enjoyed this book and read it super quick. The story was engaging, the language sounded authentic (to my ignorant ears) and distinct for each character, and it was just funny overall. Telling a story of real people from the 1500s through correspondence and managing to make it interesting is already impressive, but to make it a murder mystery of sorts? I can't help but like Laurent Binet's works, it seems.
