What is the author's style in The Imperfectionists: A Novel by Tom Rachman?

Although the novel takes place in a foreign country, much of the novel is written in a basic English. The language of the novel is more educated than most modern bestsellers might offer their wider range of readers, but this more educated language supports the highly educated characters that populate the novel.

The language of this novel is appropriate for the novel because it is more of a literary style book; a book that is written as much for the love of language as it is for the love of plot. This novel is unique in that it has both a strong plot and a clear admiration for language in general. The language is appropriate to all levels of readers, but will be better appreciated by readers who are more mature and enjoy a well-crafted sentence as well as an ironic plot.
