A review by elerireads
The Hothouse by the East River by Muriel Spark
3.0
I AM SO CONFUSED. Are Elsa and Paul both just mad? Are they dead and trapped in some kind of purgatory? Are the other characters real? Is any of it real? What on earth is the point Muriel Spark is trying to make here?!?
Despite having no idea what was really going on in this book, I actually enjoyed it. I felt bizarrely gripped the surreal mystery of it all. It was a very well-written enigma of a book and I would recommend it if you like that sort of thing.
(And if anyone thinks they actually know what was happening, please tell me - I'm all ears)
