ghostgirl411 's review for:
To Say Nothing of the Dog
by Connie Willis
I've read a few reviews that say this book is repetitive, obvious, and filled with holes.
Pish posh. Rubbish. Pshaw. Also, clap trap.
Willis brilliant at setting a scene--"The waterlillies had pink cup-shaped blossoms, and the rushes were topped with nosegays of purple and white. Iridescent blue-green dragonflies darted between them, and monstrous butterflies flitted past the boat and came to rest momentarily on the overbalanced luggage, threatening to topple it over. Off in the distance, a spire could be glimpsed rising above a clump of elm trees. The only thing lacking was a rainbow. No wonder the Victorians had waxed sentimental about nature."
She manages to pull off lovely comedic observations in a way that reminds me strongly of Shirley Jackson.
Two thumbs up.
