![]() I’m writing this 2 days after reading it and I’ve already forgotten most of the ‘plot’ points, seeing as it just trickled along at a snail’s pace. I also don’t want to be that reviewer who shits on other writers’ work, because that’s not what this is. ![]() ![]() Disclaimer: This is the first of Sarah Moss’s novels I have read, and I’ve heard that her other books are very good. It’s an intimidating thing to stick your head above the parapet sometimes and admit that you don’t particularly like a book that everyone is raving about. But for me, it fell far short of the dazzling, ‘burnished gem’ of a book that I’d been promised. It’s a story about a modern family reliving the Iron Age about family, about abusive situations, about friendship. ‘Ghost Wall’ is a highly acclaimed, multiple prize-winning novel that’s been described as a ‘short, sharp shock that closes around you like a vice as you read it’. ![]()
