Maggie O’Farrell

Friday, October 13th, 2006 | Book

I absolutely loved Maggie O’Farrell’s first novel After you’d gone. I was simply amazed at how layered her storytelling was. I was slightly disappointed by the 2nd but again adored her 3rd one The Distance between us, but still none was quite as amazing. Now I’ve read her latest The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox - and I felt this was finally holding its own opposite her debut novel. It’s simply stunning how she gets the thoughts of all these characters across, each having their own mind pattern. And how perfectly the 2 stories of different periods are interwoven! And we can certainly be grateful for the many achievements in psychological treatments that have been made in the last decades – even though there’s still space for progress!
