I read and reviewed
Mandel’s Station Eleven several
months ago now, and it was one of my absolute favourite novels of last year. A
post-apocalyptic novel that’s much more about people than about the apocalypse,
a travelling theatre company who perform Shakespeare in the face of the end of
the world, an interesting narrative structure and a lot of well-developed characters
with subtle links to one another – it’s a perfect, brilliant, wonderful novel.
So I was very excited and very nervous when I picked up The Lola Quartet.
