How to Paint a Dead Man by Sarah Hall

4.0

Well, that was a really nice book to read. The writing is deeply textured and luxurious.

It's a really slow book, and there aren't really any surprises or tensions as the four narratives are offset in time such that you mostly know what is going to happen in one as it has already happened in another. I think this helps though, it let me sit back and luxuriate in the imagery and all the feelings that evoked.
