A review by bionicsarah
We Are All Ghosts in the Forest by Lorraine Wilson

4.0

To begin with my first impressions of this book was mild confusion , I didn’t really know what was happening in the story. There appeared to have been a dystopian episode, leaving the population, decimated, and resulting in ghosts, forming from electronic media, which roamed the world interacting with people left behind
I was expecting a more straightforward dystopian novel and I was not expecting what was special about this book. I was glad however, that I persevered as ultimately I ended up enjoying the novel
A third of the way through the story, starts to make a bit more sense I started to to enjoy it more.
There are moments within this novel of startling poetic beauty which I particularly enjoyed. The author has a beautiful way of describing physical and emotional worlds of the story.
I would recommend this book to readers, who like a dystopian novel however, if you are more of a fan of magical reality, you might also like this book
I read an , early copy of the novel on NetGalley UK, the book is published in the UK on the 7th of November 2024 by Solaris.
This review will appear on NetGalley, UK, Goodreads, and my book blog bionicSarahS books.wordpress.com. After publication, it will also appear on Amazon, UK.
