The Bone People
by Keri Hulme
Very unusual syntactically—interesting to read. The author jumps around from first and third person and transitions from inner monologues and thoughts to exposition and narrative without any fanfare. I had trouble staying engaged with it the whole way through, though. Partly because I almost felt complicit in the child abuse taking place, and found it difficult to keep reading toward the conclusion, which argued that the abused child would be happiest and have his best shot back with his abuser. I did just generally lose interest as well.
