A review by roba
Katherine Carlyle by Rupert Thomson

5.0

Rupert Thomson seems to be a kind of non-genre Adam Roberts: producing way more original books with way better writing than most of his peers, winning some prizes, presumably doing OK, but never having those bookshop tables stacked high. This is a strange and vivid book, feeling at first like an arthouse movie but one that eventually makes sense, and with incredible cinematography, by virtue of the simple but effective trick of giving everything a distinct colour. So good.
