micrummey 's review for:
Platform Seven
by Louise Doughty
The narrator of Platform Seven is Lisa and because she is a ghost she knows very little of her life before her death on Peterborough station.
This is a slow burner as Lisa, through her memory being rekindled starts to piece together the circumstances leading to her demise.
We realise she is a victim of domestic abuse, both physically and psychologically although Lisa can't see it and makes excuses to herself why it can't be happening.
Again at this stage of the book doughty builds the tension slowly and it is too late when Lisa realises the dangerous predicament she is in.
There are many strands to this book which involve a number of characters and themes and at times I was questioning how relevant to the narrative they were.
Overall the originality of the narrator kept me interested which is the unique selling point of this book.
