A review by hooked_on_books
OK, Mr Field by Katharine Kilalea

3.0

I frankly don't know how to feel about this book. At it's base, the story is about a British concert pianist who is injured in an accident and goes to South Africa to convalesce thereafter. From there, however, the story is not truly a linear story with a plot but a dreamlike sequence of imaginings, obsession, and sadness. I felt like at times I became a bit lost in what was happening because of the structure of the book. And I don't feel it truly had a conclusion. I did, however, love the prose, which is beautiful to read. I suspect this is a book that would deepen with re-reading. I received an early copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
