Pascal Heitzman’s Reviews > The Pursuit of William Abbey > Status Update

I am a lover of Claire Norths writing style; the way she twists sentences and plays with words is incredible. In this book particularly, Norths diction is excellent. She builds scenes so vivid and disgusting they make you want to unread what you just read. In the lynching scene this is very evident. North describes Abby’s inaction and it contrasts so with the imagery of a boy being burnt alive. Terrible but real.
