Review by Ben Macnair (311012) Rating (8/10) Review
by Ben Macnair A family heirloom picture starts her climb up the career ladder, but secrets from the past are threatening to spoil both her reputation, and that of her friend, the arts writer Daniel, who is also the narrator of this story. It goes along at quite a pace, with short sentences, and chapters helping to push the action along. Although Art is a central theme throughout the novel, the reader does not need to know all about it. The novel is expertly researched, but the research does not get in the way of the story telling, that has always been Martin's forte (as well as the acting, the comedy, and the critically acclaimed musical career). At
a little over three hundred pages, the story packs a lot in, and
tells the ups and downs of two careers that seem to run in parallel,
each knowing more about the other than should really be the case.
There is a lot recommend this book, and reader's groups will find
much to discuss within its pages. |
