Death and the Seaside
Death and the Seaside | Alison Moore
4 posts | 4 read | 5 to read
With an abandoned degree behind her and a thirtieth birthday approaching, amateur writer Bonnie Falls moves out of her parentse(tm) home into a nearby flat. Her landlady, Sylvia Slythe, takes an interest in Bonnie, encouraging her to finish one of her stories, in which a young woman moves to the seaside, where she comes under strange influences. As summer approaches, Sylvia suggests to Bonnie that, as neither of them has anyone else to go on holiday with, they should go away together e" to the seaside, perhaps. The new novel from the author of the Man Booker-shortlisted The Lighthouse is a tense and moreish confection of semiotics, suggestibility and creative writing with real psychological depth and, in Bonnie Falls and Sylvia Slythe, two unforgettable characters.

A weird twisted story of deceit and manipulation. I liked the different perspectives and the story within the story. Compelling and well crafted.

Good, but not as good for me as Moore's The Lighthouse.

Hoping Alison Moore does not let me down!

Currently reading and hoping for a better reading experience than what I've had recently.

One of the deepest impulses in the very social human animal is to do what he perceives is expected of him 🌊☕️📝
