The Erratics by Vicki Laveau-Harvie
3.0

Vicki Laveau-Harvie's writing is beautiful and the discombobulating feel of the book with its jumps back and forth in time and place suited the discomfiting subject matter on hand, but I was largely underwhelmed by this book – Laveau-Harvie's position as an unreliable narrator due to the erasure of her memories as a result of trauma was such an interesting framework through which to explore familial angst but it didn't live up to its initial promise.
