As You Were
by Elaine Feeney
The start completely baffled me by talking about magpies, ostriches and chameleons. Talking in half sentences, half riddles. I wasn't sure what I was reading or what was going on!
7 chapters in, and I'm still not sure we are talking in full sentences. There are random paragraphs here and there that are just lists of stuff. I have deciphered that the main character has terminal cancer that she's not told her family about.
I got to half way, and was only just learning how the main character got together with her husband... And correct me if I'm wrong but I think this is the first time we've found out her name.
It took until half way through to get somewhat interesting, hence why it took me so long to get through it. The main characters health took a turn for the worst which brought her and her husband closer.. It also meant the doctors let slip about her diagnosis in front of him. Despite it getting interesting I felt we learned more about everyone else but not sure how the ward patients stories linked in with the main characters story line.
Overall, it took me an age to get into the story, I didnt feel the story had much of a plot throughout. But I guess the point was to share that when on a ward you get to know every little detail about everyone's lives, there's no hiding the truth.
