Asylum Road

A solid 3.5 read. This book is so complex it is hard to describe the plot. It meanders between many different topics like loss, war and a relationship break down through the mind of Anya. However the strength of the novel is the way the atmosphere and energy of the protagonist is cultivated. Anya's anxiety and embarrassment and fear are palpable on the page and at many moments I felt it hard to read raw parts of the book. It reminded me all too well of the feelings of heartbreak,loss and the painful steps of separation after a break up. An author I most certainly need to dive into her back list.
