laurencenz 's review for:

Moon Tiger by Penelope Lively

4.0

---

One of top 5 Booker winnder of the last 50 years. I enjoyed reading it, and there were some lovely touches of writing - such as telling the same interactions from 2 or 3 different people's perspectives. As an exercise in telling a story over the years with flashbacks it was everything that Vincent O'Sullivan's book wasn't. Crisp, sharp and insightful. Just not earth shattering enough for 5 stars.
