The Great Believers - Rebecca Makkai
The Great Believers - Rebecca Makkai
This is a novel about love and loss, memory, survival, and the fragile way communities hold each other together when institutions fail them.
Set in Chicago, 1985. AIDS moves through the city with brutal speed.
Makkai writes with enormous compassion and restraint. There’s grief here, but also humour, friendship, art, chosen family. The novel moves between timelines in a way that deepens rather than distracts showing how history lingers, how it shapes the present.
A devastating but beautifully restrained book asking at it's core who gets remembered, and who is lost.
