Review -
Every once in a while, a book comes along that is almost impossible to pigeonhole given how different it is from anything you have ever read before. That is how I felt reading Cuckoo by M Ennenbach.
There will be times when you are confused or a little lost, as that is what tends to happen when you have a wholly unreliable narrator recounting the story as they see it. There are little clues contained within, though, that help you piece it all together.
This is a book that is going to be a difficult read for many, but it's one that you really need to stick with, as the ending will feel like an absolute gut punch.
Cuckoo is a blend of poetry, prose, and pain, all tossed into a pot and left to simmer on low until it inevitably burns and leaves an indelible mark. In short, it is a work of absolute genius.
Cuckoo releases on Sept 1 and can be pre-ordered HERE.
