poseykp 's review for:
Double Blind
by Edward St. Aubyn
Between 2 and 3 stars for me. There was a lot happening in this book, in terms of plotlines and characters. I enjoyed the immediate stories surrounding the characters Lucy and Olivia, but I was not so interested in the other characters and their stories. There was a motif the whole way through about doubles (twins, double lives, splits, etc.), but I'm still not sure what the larger purpose of the motif was. I could see this motif speaking against predestination (biological, at least) in favor of the choices we make shaping our paths. Or it could be about unifying contradicting aspects of our lives and finding peace with them. I think that's why I landed on 2 stars, I'm not entirely sure what the book was trying to say about these ideas.
