 ... without a map. He looks for himself, with trepidation, in sweet, ill, passive Thomas, and sees (gratefully) only the opposite in his stuborn, angry form. Full of temper and righteous indignation, Dominick was a totally enthralling creation from the start, fascinating in both his insight and ignorance, not likeable and yet loveable, not in spite of his flaws but because of them. Particularly in the strains of the relationship that haunts him, his failure to keep Dessa, the love of his life, he is a touching, brooding and ye...more

Crowned Review I Know This Much Is True - Wally Lamb: True (1204 words)

A while back, my sister and I decided to swap our favourite books. Amongst the stack (most of which, I have to say, I read with some wearisome disdain, having rather different taste) was Middlesex, which was great. There it is, I thought, the book we agree on.

This scene was very emotive; and the juxtaposition of two seemingly happy and carefree boys, and the darkness shown in the picture , struck me as intriguingly sinister. Since picking up this book. I discovered that Wally Lamb is one of Oprah Winfrey’s book club writers (she ...
