A review by effloress
Bellman & Black by Diane Setterfield

4.0

“These are shapes, Dora thinks, that she has seen before, a million years ago, in another world. They are incomprehensible, but she has known them in the past, and the day will come when she will know them again. For today she watches, holding her breath. She forgets the others, forgets herself, forgets everything but the bliss of the shapes that paint themselves on her soul as they paint themselves on the sky.”

This book truly did feel like a living thing.
