Letting ADHD take the wheel starting too many books at the same time.

Interesting sense of space with Yvonne and Gregory's deaths. For Yvonne, the garden and all its biblical connotations are burning, but it is as if she's been lifted to the heavens at the end. Gregory, for all his visions of scaling the volcano, is tossed into a ravine. It's there that you really notice the meaning of the title. The ending may be given away early but the description is very unsettling.

Lowry's writing is so immersive - his Mexico is so distinctive and tangible, it feels like stepping into the country every time I open the book, and into the memories of Geoff/Hugh/Yvonne/Jacques. I find the Consul's perspective often very troubling - this is the sort of book that makes you never want to pick up a drink again.
