Tepid Gothic stew,
By F. J. Harvey "Cricket ,country music and a go... (Birmingham England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: The Light in the Swamp (Nightingale Series) (Paperback)
Written in the early 1970's this slice of contemporary Gothic is set in the more remote parts of Long Island and narrated by Catherine Morrell who has recently been widowed and to make matters worse has lost her mother also.Her late husband had not left her well provided for and she is in economically straitened circumstances.Accordingly she seeks a new home with distant relatives on Long Island,the Hauklids who have distanced themselves from the rest of their community and live in not so glorious isolation from those around them with their educationally disadvantaged son Byron.This is achange from the popular and gregarious family that Catherine remembers from beforeWhy has the family changed?Will Catherine build a new life on the Island? Read it and you'll find out but you may not feel it was worth the effort.The secret goes back to the Second World War and struck me as impluasible to say the least.I did not believe the story for one minute and the author did not persuade me to suspend my disbelief in the characters or their motives
