Cecily
Cecily is on page 141 of 372
The seemingly random, character-switching, stream-of-consciousness opening pages were baffling, but I'm really glad I stuck with it, as the narrative gradually came in to focus - and occasionally out of it again.
I'm looking forward to switching from Francescho to George in under 50 pages.

Cecily is finished
A novel of two, barely-related, but profoundly linked, parts. Intriguing, sometimes elusive, and occasionally overreaching. Glad I read it though.

Review to come.

Hayley Ah interesting. My edition starts with George.

It’s definitely an experimental novel that’s for sure. Enjoy!


Cecily I knew that half the copies start with one story and half with the other. After a quick flick ahead - looking at words, more than reading them - I think George is probably an easier way to start. But I will never know for sure, and I'm glad I'm reading it.
