Ada, or, Ardor, a family chronicle

Sarah Sammis

Ada or Ardor is a complex and long book involving an alternate world where the Victorian world is mapped onto pangea, steam punk, a complicated family tree, word play and goodness knows what else. I think under different circumstances, I would enjoy the book but right now its just more than I can or want to handle. I'm not connecting with the characters nor particularly interested in the progression of the plot.

A Family Chronicle

Ada, or Ardor

Katie

Not to be dramatic but this is the best book I’ve ever read and I will read it 100 more times. I have not been this obsessed w a book since I was like 10. Life changing and beautiful and hellish and incoherent and dreamlike but lucid and hyperreal. What the fuck, Love u Vladimir
