Review: The Core of the Sun

The Core of the Sun by Johanna Sinisalo
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Core of the Sun is translated from Finish and I kept wondering if it would have been as strange if I had not been reading the translation. It reminded me a lot of The Handmaid's Tale, but with chili peppers. I would recommend it, but it does open with the main character testing hot chili powder in her vagina. It was a strange opening and the book continued to be strange. Emotions had smells for our narrator and while I liked that it was a little strange the first time or two. I did really enjoy the book and the characters.
