| Book Review | This is not a book for everyone. The two main characters, a novelist and her housekeeper, are not particularly likable, though both are bizarrely sympathetic. The housekeeper, Emerence, is larger-than-life, and indeed, often feels like a fairy tale character, moving between a benevolent fairy godmother and a raging Rumplestiltskin. These are things about the book that you'll either love or hate. For me, they created a beautiful and terrible narrative, but they might not for everyone. |
