Abyss reveals a relationship between 8-year-old Claudia and her mother of the same name. Claudia’s father is often absent because of his work, while her mother is mostly at home and reads magazines about celebrities. While Claudia is often alone with her mother, they have unusual conversations. So Claudia ponders death and suicide more than other 8-year-olds.
Although Abyss is a solid novel, and I liked it in one way, something constantly slowed me down with my reading. The story is told from the POV of a daughter, 8-year-old Claudia, and it bothered me she doesn’t always sound like a child. Overall, Abyss was a fine read, but there were quite some passages in this novel that I found slow and some even unnecessary.
