"Apeirogon, 2020, Colum McCann’s ambitious and compelling journey into the lives of Palestinians and Israelis. Strong work, and intriguing surprise on every page, the kind of current American novel that reminds us that fiction continues to renew itself."

Thank you to the publisher, author and Blind Date With A Book for this Kindle copy.

Colleen Nye's romantic novel was just not my cup of tea. Apart from the fact that it was sickly sweet it felt like reading a Disney novel. It seemed very far-fetched and the writing style was a little bit too simple. Just to say I am not a fan of the romantic genre anyway and received this as part of a great initiative to read books that are not your usual milieu.

Elegant, rich language, plot filled with twists
The entire premise of this novel surrounds the enigmatic Richard Smith who has turned up in New York in the 1700s with £1,000, a huge sum at the time. The prose is elegant and rich, reminiscent of classic period dramas written by Edith Wharton, but mixes the plot of the Taming Of The Shrew with "The Guest" by Satyajit Ray. The ending is poignant when we discover his true purpose of the money and there are literally hundreds of twists throughout the novel. Beautifully written.

An interesting continuation of the Wizard of Oz
As a Wizard of Oz adaptation I found this novel to be interesting as it focuses on issues such as greed, trust and power that are prevalent in modern society as underlying themes. Overall, I found the novel to be engaging through its twisted interpretation of what happens after Dorothy returns to Kansas. Despite this, it should be noted that there are parts of this work that drag a little due to a lack of action in chapters that are focused on character and plot development.

I love Susanna Kearsley's novels, they are, in fact, my favorite sort of novels. Partially historical fiction, modern fiction, with a hint of supernatural in the form of ghosts, typically.
I was excited when I read the synopsis of this novel, and couldn't wait to read it. I was slightly disappointed by it, because it wasn't as good as her other novels. The historical portion was a little slow, and the modern novel portion was fairly predictable. I still enjoyed it, just not as much as I would have liked to enjoy it.
