| This is not great literature, and characterisation is flimsy, but it’s a damn good read. The Missing Family is consummately well plotted and has the reader hooked to the very last page, with unexpected reveal after reveal after reveal. With masterful ...more | |
“You see, if I stop thinking about what I’m scenting on the air or in the undergrowth, if I cease wondering which path to tread or where we’re going and instead let myself meld into the space in my head, it’s as if I am living in what the humans called a library, the place where all knowledge is stored.”
