The Crossing

LoveReading Says

September 2015 eBook of the Month.

Prepare a space in time for ‘The Crossing’, float on the surface of awareness before taking a deep breath and sinking slowly into a truly captivating read. Maud is different, a survivor, she exists in a state of solitude, yet she has an essence that other people want to charm, to capture. There is an edge of detachment, of looking out rather than in, yet somehow Andrew Miller lays a cord of connection and empathy. At times matter of fact, at times beautifully descriptive, the words become vivacious living pictures capable of evoking intense feeling. The sea journey is terrifyingly exquisite, the matter of fact recounting of informative activity, yet highly descriptive detailing of the physical world ensures each action, each hurt, each terror, is felt, it’s almost as though you are feeling and living Maud’s emotions, in her place. Beautifully mesmerising and on occasion painfully provocative, this is a stimulating and highly recommended novel. ~ Liz Robinson
