I was looking forward to listening to your review after reading the novel myself. And your thoughts definitely enriched my own experience. The theme of emotions, and observing emotions closely from a somewhat naive perspective, stood out to me as well. I never figured out if the religious tone in Klara’s interpretation was hard coded or was it an inference-based conclusion that was unique to her. Or maybe a mixture of both.
I just came across one of your Agatha Christie videos by accident and subscribed immediately. It was so fun hearing your opinions on books. Keep up the good work!
