A review by nihilisk
The Abyss by Marguerite Yourcenar

4.0

Remarkably immersive. The research which went into it is unconsciously evident, and the author’s post-script demonstrates how much work she put in, with regards to research. I rarely read ‘historical fiction’, and indeed, that isn’t what attracted me to this book. The premise sounded interesting, and it did not disappoint. The language had me transfixed, and every time I opened the book I was immediately transported to another world.

A rare delight!
