A review by sabienne
By Nightfall by Michael Cunningham
3.0
I feel like I have to say something about this book, but it's been a while and I still haven't figured out what. The feeling I'm left with mostly though, is a vague sense of disappointment. I think because I wanted more of Mizzy, there wasn't enough for me. Not enough to satisfy me. It felt so fleeting.
However, I thought the writing was fabulous and I really enjoyed reading it. It felt like a wonderful world I could just step into, disappear in. Eventually I got a little tired of Peter's incessant talk about successful and beautiful people vs. unsuccessful and unattractive people. I don't like the way he measures success so superficially. Then again, he works in the art world, so this makes total sense.
So. Beautiful book with a beautiful cover, I'm glad I've got it on my, um, 'shelf', I just wish there'd been more of it.
