I like a family novel that feels lived in, not arranged. Enormous Wings sounds like it has the room to be funny, messy, and quietly bruising all at once.
What pulls me in is the promise of scale without bloat. When a writer can hold several lives in the air and still make each one feel specific, I stay with the book a lot longer than I planned to.
That usually means the novel has confidence. It is not begging me to be impressed. It just keeps laying down detail, pressure, and emotional weather until I realize I am fully inside it.
