This book reminds me of Katherine Govier's Random Descent, since both stories involve a Canadian woman trying to come to grips with her family's neuroses by learning more about the ancestors that preceded them. Unfortunately, whereas I loved Random Descent, Graven Images is driving me nuts. The novel reads suspiciously like non-fiction (particularly knowing just a few details of the author's biography), a trip scrapbook compiled of a jumble of notes, quotes, remembered fragments of campfire songs, Shakespeare plays and dreams (dreams! Ack!). The all-over-the-placeness gets irritating after a while, and reading this book is a little like not being able to sleep at night, lying there in the dark listening to the chaotic rattle of your own mind.Reviewer Elisabeth Harvor seems to share my perspective - you can read her review of this book here. I hope whomever finds this book will enjoy it more than I did! |
