The Luminaries, Eleanor Catton. I enjoyed this book, but it's a bit oddly structured and there's some confusion about genre. You have to be prepared for a shift partway. It's set during the New Zealand gold rush, there are Chinese and Maori characters who get solid POV time, but also period casual racism.

...I'm tired, I can't remember what else I wanted to say about this.

Taking a day off to vacuum would officially make me an old lady, wouldn't it. Hm.
