Linda Howe Steiger and 162 other people liked BlackOxford's review of Matrix: "Sisterhood I may not understand Groff’s intention with this book. Or perhaps I do, in which case I don’t like it. It is historical fiction only in the broadest sense that a woman called Marie Abbess of Shaftesbury did exist. Anything else is mostly le" Read more of this review »

Spufford's first novel, as opposed to his many non-fictions, which had started creeping towards what he claims to think of as "alternative histories" rather than historical fictions. Without going into any of that, I rather enjoyed the ride. A lot of ...more

"'ello 'ello. 'ello!" So opens this wonderfully enjoyable recent (and quite short) novel by A. Smith. It's different! And it's surprisingly compelling. As one ought by now to expect from Ali Smith. Filled with imaginings, and puns, wordplay, metaphor ...more

Better than Rick Steves if you happen to be planning a trip to Prague AND enjoy reading about classical music, piano playing, and are drawn to that minor genre of fiction about lost books or lost art. It certainly hit my buttons. Otherwise, that is i ...more

Really, as others have remarked, this is not a good novel but a collection of short stories loosely connected through their common setting--first its a rustic cabin constructed in the Seventeenth Century, which becomes, after many improvements and ad ...more

Long in terms of number of pages, but chapters are very short and all have titles: from one paragraph to 2-3 pages. Snippets. There's a big bog down in the middle of the book, where I wanted to simply give up; from what I can determine many people do ...more

Disappointing. Too much nonsense. Too much nihilism for my taste. And a lot of fancy but not very cogent or even evocative prose. Made me wonder whether this author had a little too much invested in finishing out her writing project theoretically bas ...more
