augureader 's review for:
The Loudness of Unsaid Things
by Hilde Hinton
This one was really hard to rate.
It took a while for me to get into the writing style, but once I did, I loved all the references to places in Melbourne that I know and could visualise as I was reading. And I thought the tale of Susie was very interesting indeed. No matter how I tried, though, I couldn't get into Miss Kaye's chapters at all - I also felt like I didn't get enough exposure to her to have any opinion of her. As a result, I didn't really get much of an impact from, nor did I care about, the storyline around Miss Kaye and how it all comes together at the end. I also thought that the "significant event" was a bit too abrupt... It didn't engage me and the end left me wanting.
So, I decided to give this part autobiographical/part fiction work a middle of the road 3... I liked some of it and didn't really like some of it.
