For more reviews, check out my blog: craft-cycleI will start by saying that I love reading retellings, especially fairy tale retellings.

Rabih Alameddine’s spellbinding The Angel of History tells Jacob’s life story as he spends a day at a mental health clinic trying to convince the staff to lock him up for 72 hours. J...
