A review by jwilly19
Asymmetry by Lisa Halliday

4.0

Halliday is a major talent. I found myself annoyed at times by the relationship in the first part of the book, but still compelled to read on. But the shift in the second section is truly remarkable and her ability to inhabit characters is staggering. Without giving anything away, I’m not sure she pulled off anything truly transcendent by structuring the novel in the way she did. But there are some moments of truly transcendent prose and insight in this novel. Looking forward to what she does next.
