The Eighth Life by Nino HaratischwiliMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This was an epic in every sense. Over 900 pages taking us through over 100 years of Georgian history through the story of a family. It has everything you would imagine. At times it felt like it was trying to do too much in one novel, but by and large it was an enthralling look into life in Georgia throughout the years, and how this all affects younger people who didn’t live through it themselves.
The was also the feeling that history doesn’t repeat itself, but it definitely rhymes, both in terms of historical events as well as in terms of the family. This at times made it confusing in that certain family members or acquaintances started getting mixed up in my head.
I would still give it 5 stars.
