Finished The City & the City by China Miéville.

This first came to my attention via the 2018 mini-series based on it. It’s as much, if not more, about its ideas as it is about the plot. I will think about it for a long time. Will read again.

@strandlines It's a fantastic book! The mini-series was also good in its own way, as I recall, although it diverged a bit from how I imagined the cities. It's probably approaching time for me to give it a reread, now I think about it 😊

@jayeless I looked back at a synopsis of the series, as I couldn’t recall all the details, and there are more changes from the book than I remember. I will be definitely looking to read more of Miéville’s work, including Un Lun Dun, which I bought as a gift for my son. If you reread The City and the City, I hope you enjoy it as much again.
