A ghost story for the capucino generation,
10 Aug 2009
Is Sara mad or haunted? Mad or haunted? The question keeps
recurring and won't be laid to rest. There are real
unexplained phenomena that others experience but this is the
ordinary world of London's chattering classes and solid
rural folk. Why does the ground resist Tom's powerful
machines? Is he just an inept yuppie pursuing a false rural
idyll or is there a supernatural force against him? Sara
subconsciously yearns for a child but her conscious self is
in a comfortable pact with Tom, enjoy life, no children. The
reader senses the tension in her psyche creates a distorting
prism before Sara's eyes, but this is the reader's only view
of a world, at once strange and commonplace. After many
twists and false leads we reach a final conclusion, which
somehow seemed inevitable in retrospect. This is a book I
feel Stephen King would have been proud to have written, if
he ever read it, and if he hadn't written quite a lot of
good books already, well you know what I mean. |

I have just finished reading this and am
almost sorry I have finished, as I enjoyed
it so much. What a page turner, I could
hardly put this book down at times. I have
read all Penelope Evans books since she
wrote "The Last Girl" in 1995 and she just
gets better and better. |
