I want to compare The Luminaries to a certain book, but am scared to & look stupid because A) somebody already has; B) Nobody has.

The Luminaries reminds me of An Instance of the Fingerpost by Iain Pears in how the pieces of story swirl together & shed light.

‘I suppose that to know a thing is to see it from all sides’. p. 502 of The Luminaries bitches.

And now @EleanorCatton‘s The Luminaries is my Luminaries. 832 pages of d___ed genius. Big & satisfying.
