A review by robforteath
The Abyss by Marguerite Yourcenar

4.0

I found this book to be a tough slog, perhaps because I read it over a few months when I couldn't concentrate much on reading. The story itself is thin, so the book depends on the ruminations of the character and/or the author. Fortunately, this is marvellous. The thoughts, observations, asides, ponderings, etc. are interesting and thought-provoking.
