Journal Entry 1 by CanberraPenny on Friday, September 22, 2006
"Arresting and wonderful, The Accidental pans in on the Norfolk holiday home of the Smart family one hot summer. There, a beguiling stranger called Amber appears at the door bearing all sorts of unexpected gifts, trampling over family boundaries and sending each of the Smarts scurrying from the dark into the light.

A novel about the ways that seemingly chance encounters irrevocably transform our understanding of ourselves, The Accidental explores the nature of truth, the role of fate and the power of storytelling."

I really enjoyed this book once I got past the first 60 pages which were written in a drive me crazy stream of consciousness style which I hate!! The book is very interesting and while I certainly didn't understand everything it was trying to say, overall I would have to say that I did like it.

Lent this book to a friend and haven't received it back so time to change its status for now.
