satyridae 's review for:
Red Clocks
by Leni Zumas
This inventive novel really grabbed me. It struck me as just slightly hallucinatory, perhaps because the inner voices of each character were so fully formed and distinct. The chapter changes were in effect changes in my resonance, changes in my own viewpoint.
The biographer's chapter excerpts were the least successful of the author's devices, to my eye- and even they were only slightly clunky.
I loved how the intersecting lives opened to me, how I could move from such profound identification with Gin to the same with Susan. Any of those lives (save Mattie's) would have been possible for me, had one or two days gone differently. One or two moments.
I want to read this again in a year.
