review 1: Some moments of beauty and magic that force you to stop, underline, reread, and linger upon the image and chain of words for a while. Of the four voices, Suze's is the most memorable and distinctive. I enjoyed "Beautiful Indifference" more, but appreciate the way Sarah Hall can paint both delicate and burning images and landscapes in my mind with her words. She can really inhabit different bodies and voices, but Suze is the most fleshed out and alive among the four stories.
review 2: I read this a little while ago for my book group and it's stayed with me way beyond then. It is a tale of four people, all loosely connected (five, if you spot the additional obscure connection). They're all a bit lost or are losing something. The book is pretty rigidly constru... morected into the four main characters stories, but within this is some of the most poetic, lyrical writing I have ever read. There is a scene when one character describes the onset of blindness like falling snow, and it has haunted me ever since. less
