A review by charliedon
Penance by Eliza Clark

dark emotional medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.5

A mixed media book presented as a non-fiction publication by a disgraced journalist. Penance looks into the modern fascination with true crime and it’s affect on young impressionable people. The presentation of the book is very well done leading to a discussion as to the intentions of the ‘author’ which is then confirmed of by the end of the book. A good read.
