I liked "The Imperfectionists" and so read "The Rise and Fall". Unfortunately, it was not a satisfying read for me. At no point did I really care for any of the characters or what happened to them and they mostly were a pretty grisly group. One of the reviews uses the word strange and the book is that. Another calls the main character, "humane." I don't think I would agree with that. She's basically damaged and acts accordingly until the end when she tries to rectify her actions. It would seem that she would have caught on much sooner and become a "humane" person. It might be the kind of book someone would write if they were in mourning for the death of a loved one, perhaps a sister.
