A group of expatriates drift through Paris and Pamplona in the 1920s, circling a woman none of them can have and a wound none of them will name.
About This Book
The author employs the conversational method in this realistic novel about a group of English and American ineffectuals on the continent.
Who This Is For
Best for readers who want to be immersed in a world: mood and setting as important as plot. The writing rewards attention without being demanding, a good balance of depth and readability. It takes its time, and that's the point. Patience is rewarded. Plot-first readers may find the pace too slow and the ambiguity too deliberate.
Best Read When
Best read when you're in the mood for something atmospheric and mysterious, and a read that's slow and deeply immersive.
What It Explores
The Sun Also Rises explores love in its most complicated forms, identity and the gap between who we are and who we pretend to be, loss and what remains after it, and war and its costs — both during and long after.
