Atmospheric Disturbances
Atmospheric Disturbances, September 2008, 9/10.
Written by Rivka Galchen. Published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux.
This was a real surprise find for me – I had no idea that I would enjoy this book as much as I did. Exactly what it was that made the novel so appealing is a little difficult to put my finger on, but it was such a quirky tale and so full of well reasoned madness that I was totally sucked in. The only aspect that I did not like so much was the ending, but the options there were quite limited, and the fabulously designed characters, at once so human but also so cold, more than made up for it. Normally I prefer my novels to be a bit less modern, but this one was a perfect balance.
