A review by nebulous07
Beneath Pale Water by Thalia Henry
4.0
"Beneath Pale Water" is an intricate read that sheds light on the mindset by Luke (vagrant), Delia (sculptor) and Jane (model) against the backdrop of beautiful landscapes of New Zealand. This is certainly a visual treat and I felt that I was transported to the South Island.
Thalia Henry has really developed memorable characters along with the supporting characters of Helen (Delia's mother) and Alfred (Luke's father). They really complement the overall plot centred around a sense of belonging and identity and it is interesting to gain a parental perspective. I took a bit of time to get into the writing style of the author but I was engaged and couldn't wait to unearth what would happen. It is an unconventional book that presents a realistic overview on grief and reliving the past.
