| I would've given it probably 5 stars if I had read it when I was 15 y.o in 1975. I would've also loved Banville's generous prose. I might have fallen in love with the dark and ambiguous atmosphere of the story. But I am now a jaded 65 year old reader ...more | |

It feels like a "lost opportunity" kind of dystopian novel. My Japanese review: https://youshofanclub.com/2025/08/11/... ...more |

| TJR is definitely one of the best storytellers. She makes you love the characters and root for their happiness. A great read. | |
“It is one of the secrets in that change of mental poise which has been fitly named conversion, that to many among us neither heaven nor earth has any revelation till some personality touches theirs with a peculiar influence, subduing them into receptiveness..”

“Prejudices, it is well known, are most difficult to eradicate from the heart whose soil has never been loosened or fertilised by education: they grow there, firm as weeds among stones.”

“I care for myself. The more solitary, the more friendless, the more unsustained I am, the more I will respect myself.”

“What's everyone talking about?"
"The end of The Iliad."
"That's the best part," Marx said.
"Why is it the best part?" Sadie asked.
"Because it's perfect," Marx said. "'Tamer of horses' is an honest profession. The lines mean that one doesn't have to be a god or a king for your life to have meaning.”

“The alternative to appropriation is a world in which artists only reference their own cultures."
"That's an oversimplification of the issue."
"The alternative to appropriation is a world where white European people make art about white European people with only white European references in it. Swap African or Asian or Latin or whatever culture you want for European. A world where everyone is blind and deaf to any culture or experience that is not their own. I hate that world don't you? I'm terrified of that world and I don't want to live in a that world, and as a mixed race person, I literally don't exist in it. My dad, who I barely knew, was Jewish. My mom was an American-born Korean. I was raised by Korean immigrant grandparents in Korea Town Los Angeles and as any mixed race person will tell you-- to be half of two things is to be whole of nothing.”
