Title: Stilted and unimpressive read
Review: I had hoped to enjoy this book, iti s supposedly about a woman, Norah, who has an obsession with New zealand Writer, Katherine Mansfield - and it is also a novel of returning home (to Sydney) to examine the past and the future.She runs into her old boyfriend, no longer a seemingly useless and skinny migrant, but a successful man. Her family - her father, her brother and her seemingly difficult sister. No one is there to help her - they all seem incapable of helping themselves.Words such as 'lyrical', 'poignant' and 'critical acclaim' have been used to describe this book, all I can say on this is let that be your warning. The substance of this book is thin and unsatisfactory.
