The Sudden Appearance of Hope
by Claire North
Stunning and sleek, full of beautiful and confronting ideas about identity and who we become when those we love and hold dear are no longer looking. I was particularly enthralled by the musings about modern society and how we've in a sense created a society which makes slaves of us, and how we've tied in our perceptions of who we are with what we buy and how we look.
Hope is one tough character; she's a creature made entirely from her horrifying circumstance and when you find yourself disagreeing with her or finding her contemptible, you're also sympathising with her, and feeling glad you're not her.
As much as I've often wished to be invisible in certain situations, this is an extreme that I don't think I'd cope with. At least, not anywhere near as well as Hope Arden has.
