2.0
The story of Louise Goldblum, the baby of her family and a troubled adult trying to cope with her oldest sister's murder. She moves into an abusive sexual relationship with Zeke and we see her try to make sense of things while doing her first "installation" of her art.
The author's first attempt falls flat. 269 pages is not enough to do this kind of psychoanalytical fiction in any meaningful way. The reader is left with shallow and cliched treatments of her family, Esther (dead sister) and her life, Zeke, her friendship with Alice, and, most of all, Louise herself. Part One was adequate, but Part Two was a tragic disappointment.
