A thoroughly enjoyable rollicking yarn with a concealed but no less real thread of deadly earnest woven through it. The mix of genres (clockwork punk, old-school crime, high-concept period espionage, psychological family drama, a soupçon of fantasy & SF tropes) and characters stirred into this probably shouldn't work, and at times it does seem a little lumpy, but most of the time it is remarkably effective. Some minor quibbles about moments of Deus ex machina, and a pulpy tendency for characters to make major life choices in an instant means that I would rate this slightly below The Gone-Away World, but it is still head and shoulders above the crowd.

A lot of almost spooky similarities between my own life and that of both the author and the characters in his novel made this fairly interesting reading. There are insights aplenty with a ring of familiarity and recognition. A recent trip to NZ also meant I was able to picture the locations quite often. (less)

A strong thesis that has a lot of resonance for my own thoughts on human experience. It required fairly constant mental editorialising however to filter out the extreme gender bias, the complete ignoring of homosexuality, and a tendency to a high level of repetition. These points aside though, it was a thought provoking read that sought to cut through bourgeoise niceties and stare honestly at sex and death. (less)

An intriguing oddity. The mere fact that this scientific fantasy was written by a woman in the 1600s makes it of interest. The reading of it is a bit hard work at times as she has basically created a vehicle to explore a lot of fairly repetitive ideas, but there are flashes of imaginative brio that reward the persistent reader.

Reading some other reviews, many have been critical of this book for its difficult wrangle with the writer's own feelings about his experience, arguing that he has has made it about himself and demeaned the Rwandans' own story. While I understand this reaction, to me the book was a sometimes flawed, sometimes distressing, but in the end honest, examination of the mental and emotional dilemma faced by outsiders in confronting situations like this. It evoked for me something of the moral confusion I have felt as a guest in an aboriginal community in central Australia. One's ingrained white middle class values are always seeking to intrude and judge in all sorts of contradictory ways. This book does not claim to be journalism, and so the only really legitimate focus has to be one's own reaction. I am glad I read it even though I found it hard going at times. Less the facts of the genocide than the observations of the apparent life-force of the people. (less)
