How to Be Both by Ali Smith

1.0

I liked the first half, sort of. I didn’t love it. A girl, her artsy mother, a 500 year old Italian painting. Then the second half, about the painter. Screech to a halt. Free verse, poetic imagery. Sorry. Not for me. I like a clear narrative and a plot. Am I a monster, a philistine? Probably. And I’m ok with that.
