2020 book 109

Victoria Goddard’s The Hands of the Emperor
Sometimes you just want to reread something you can really sink into, like a beautifully written long novel about government reform. Yes, that's what I said. I love Goddard's writing and she makes this story of a very high level bureaucrat—and his deep friendships, and his family issues, and being from a minority culture, and his politics, and his work for a living god—extremely moving and compelling. Like, here I am crying when a song gets sung during a ceremony. I love Goddard's world and this novel is great.
