A review by kathieboucher
A Game of Hide and Seek by Elizabeth Taylor
4.0
Slow and quiet, written with deftness, subtlety, and dark wit, this novel explores a teenage infatuation that comes back to haunt in later life. Does Harriet want her comfortable marriage with Charles, or the dream of what might have been with Vesey?
As Caleb Crain writes in the introduction, "A difficulty in seeing what one wants is part of the game, after all. One begins to play by covering one's eyes."
