Review of "Snowdrops"

very good read - makes it clear from the begining where it will end, but manages to keep you reading along.

Review of "The Heart of Darkness"

Surprisingly un- explicit, story told as first person narration within a framing device (waiting for the tide to turn) but we never get to know Kurtz or what he has been doing at all - everything by allusion and hints, the dying "The horror, the horror" words are left entirely to the reader's imagination to fill in (room 101?)

Review of "The Lacuna"

read on Kindle. Fantastic story, really enjoyed it, deeply involving and nteresting as well as connected to other aspects of life - eg I had forgotten that when on holiday in San Fransisco in 1999 we had stumbled into Diego Rivera's studio and exhibition of his works.
