This review is from: A Stranger Still (Hardcover)
Like life, this novel shows the strengths and weaknesses of people as exposed by the vagaries of life. Some strengths are good - some are selfish and unforgiveable. Some weknesses are awful flaws, but others are precautions that help an individual avoid greater disasters. The characters in this novel are fascinating. I kept hoping I would find one I could identify with unequivocally, but found myself cringeing at some of the outcomes and then forgiving the character because no decisions are ever made without reason and feeling.I came to this novel from several other novels by Anna Kavan that I hold in very high esteem. This novel doesn't disappoint, but doesn't quite reach the exulted heights of 'Let Me Alone'. Kavan's fresh writing style has not dated at all and its vivid imagery takes one back to the time about which she writes, and the place as well. But its in the charcaters and their interactions that Kavan shows her true insights. |
