Book Log 2017 #14: Black Swan Green by David Mitchell
This book tells the story of a year in the life of a teenager growing up in England (a character based on the author) and the struggles he faces as he grows older, falls in love, and sees his family change in dramatic ways. As someone who grew up in a similar time (but not in England) I connected pretty well with the main character, and found the cultural references spot on (where I was familiar with them).
Fans of Mitchell's other works will appreciate all of the Easter eggs (which I won't enumerate here so as not to spoil the surprises) to other novels, connections that give some of the more mystical events of this novel some support.
