![]() ![]() ![]() But in a house where you drink, hunt for treasure, sand some floors, go to school… Some parts moved quickly, and some, like when Cassie in Lexie at Whitethorn, moved slowly, creating this hazy, languid narrative – kind of like when you see movies or commercials where someone in running in a field slowly, running their hands through wheat or flowers, with the sun shining brightly behind them and obscuring part of them, soft slow music playing. Plain and simple, this was a really good story. Each of French’s characters are richly drawn, flawed and beautiful, and each makes perfect sense. I became invested in the house, and in the friends. ![]() I lived at Whitethorn with Abby, Rafe, Daniel and Justin. In The Likeness, I was literally lulled into becoming Cassie / Lexie. What a strange read – but in a lovely way!! I have just finished it and I have so many questions, and so many feelings.įrench’s first person narrative is incredibly seductive – I read a lot of first person narrative fiction but rarely do I lose myself completely in the character. ![]()
