A review by alexandracpedro
Faith Fox by Jane Gardam

4.0

This book explores various aspects of society at large rather than the life of Faith Fox herself. Through a series of mundane events, Jane Gardam is able to expose all the contradictory and hypocritical actions we take every day. All the characters seem to want to do their best but, for one reason or another, are almost always incapable of doing so. What stands to me the most after closing the last page of this book is the overlooked importance of sticking to our words. In terms of the author's writing style, one can only marvel at Jane Gardam's abilities to create multidimensional characters and to write realistic dialogue. I recommend this book to people who are into social commentary and do not mind the fact that the book focuses more on dialogue than on plot.
