New Orpheu
The best of the International Booker 2025 bunch that I’ve read so far. Humanizing those who suffer from disorders of their mood or mental capacity can be a challenge, falling back on stereotype if the hurdle is too high to overcome. Serre realizes a portrait of a woman who battles an unseen affliction without ever losing her individual spark. A touching tribute to her sister.
