The Centre

Enjoyed this world, it cleanly and visually builds - I can see this translating well onto film or TV. The protagonist has a fresh, accessible, thoughtful, aware and self deprecating contemporary voice which lends well to keeping the mixed controversial themes on the table in a conversational sense without it turning it heavy . My irk was that I felt it was a great set up to another novel (I went to an evening with the author and she has no plans to write another sadly) - I felt it offered a lot of exciting possibilities.
