A review by george55
Another Country by James Baldwin

3.0

Beautifully written with some standout passages. But the intensely introspective characters seemed so extreme and so implausible. There was far too much simultaneous hatred and love and deep deep analysis of the personal relationships for me. Ida was only 21 yet could articulate centuries of feelings. And all the thrusting which went on, between Vivaldo, Ida, Cass, Eric and Rufus was a bit much!
