The Engagement by Chloe Hooper

4.0

As a big Chloe Hooper fan, I was really looking forward to diving into The Engagement. Whilst beautifully written, I found much of it uncomfortable to read. I found it hard to identify with Liese and her emotional reaction to the situation she found herself in was confusingly inconsistent. I personally felt suffocated by the isolation of the two characters and I kept reading to find some breathing space. Wonderful depiction of regional Victoria and the farm setting.
