I thought it was interesting and clever that the book focuses on the couple rather than what was inflicted on the child, it really conveyed both their weird obsession with each other and complete lack of empathy for anyone else. The writing style was awful, like some kind of GCSE attempt at being really descriptive and poetic that failed miserably.

I never really felt that I believed in the story (just as well, perhaps) but I don't give one-star reviews if I can see some merit in a book, and I thought that this one was well-written enough to deserve two stars. because when I asked them if I could see Samantha, just for the record, she said she was playing at the rec with her friends and I just went Oh, OK’ Kaye, social worker’You see it all the time in videos and that, but until you’re in the room with them you don’t really know what it means’ Sharon, jurorNo one in the neighbourhood has seen the Gutteridges’ little girl Samantha for months.

The story is this: He is subject to forces greater than himself, forces that are beyond his control. The antisemitism of Patricia Highsmith and Virginia Woolf has indelibly stained my experience of their work. Each chapter was from the view point of a different person but it goes into extreme lengths about each persons life and backstory and family, which has absolutely nothing to do with the main storyline. Make no mistake, there is a deeply emotive edge to this book which more sensitive readers might find acutely distressing (as more than one of the characters within the story do too) but overall this is a hugely empathetic, if unsettling, read.The viewer whose tastes were shaped by a particular artist or form of art might be more inclined to overlook that artist’s personal misdeeds, for instance, just as survivors of sexual abuse might have less tolerance for “Lolita.

I'm all right with feeling ambivalent feelings towards book characters, even two as irredeemably horrible as Brendan and Sherilyn. Unlike the male critics she knew, Dederer was not raised to identify with the perspective of the auteurs.

My ambition was not to exonerate them, but I needed to know why they’d done what they did; why it had seemed so essential to them to rid themselves of their daughter; why they considered her annihilation an act of self-defence. Dederer sees every encounter with a work of art as a potential clash between two biographies: “the biography of the artist that might disrupt the viewing of the art” and “the biography of the audience member that might shape the viewing of the art. But eliding my own or others’ faults does not erase or redeem them, only the real stakes of my stories.Most people know that Mary Shelley wrote the novel Frankenstein, but the common perception that she dreamed up this story as part of a parlour game with poets Shelley and Byron is misleading.
