A review by shadowsmoon
The Blue Book by A.L. Kennedy

5.0

Absolutely exceptional. My Book of the Year so far and definitely in my top books of all time! Kennedy writes with such acutely beautiful and descriptive imagery it is impossible to do this book the justice and praise it deserves. One of Kennedy's many talents is her ability to write about pain and love and just envelop you in the lives of her characters. I say 'characters' but these people are so real to me it's hard to call them that.

Like another of Kennedy's novels "Serious Sweet" the way she weaves people's love stories into your mind and heart is truly magical. It is with deft choreography in structure, choice of words and form that all come together to bring alive the complexity of love and relationships. This is a must read for sure.

I listened to this book on Audible but will be rereading this very soon; I'm not ready to let these wonderful people go. Absolutely stunning. Thank you for your talent!
