PDF The Innocents PDF/EPUB ☆ Á horror books.co innocents kindle, The Innocents MOBI35 rounded upSweetland was my favorite book of 2015 so I was so delighted that the long four year wait was finally over with Mr Crummey's new novel Unsurprisingly it is both set in Newfoundland and has a mixture of the harsh realities of that landscape along with the gorgeous precise prose for which Crummey is suitably lauded There are also hints of the supernatural as in his previous novel as well as some harrowing set pieces that he renders cinematically so the reader can't help but picture them in their mind's eyeMy only very minor complaint is that it just didn't have the propulsive momentum of the earlier work; it's languid in pace and there isn't the strong through line or indeed much of a plot in the traditional sense to carry one along But reading this reminded me that I NEED to tackle Crummey's back catalog as he is certainly a one of a kind writer and I have enjoyed everything he's written so

PDF The Innocents PDF/EPUB ☆ Á horror books.co innocents kindle, The Innocents MOBIThe story of two orphaned siblings fighting for survival on the wild Labrador coast of Newfoundland With the exception of a couple of dramatic set pieces the plot is secondary to the 'extraordinary' relationship that develops between brother and sister I use the word 'extraordinary' here to elude to a theme which is central to the novel but which is best discovered for one's self Michael Crummey writes beautifully of landscape conveying in an economical and yet poetic style the vastness and the drama of the local coastline The cold and isolation demanding a mental fortitude in order to persevere with the mundane slog of daily survival The entire thing is intensely realised take this snippet about an approaching storm It was like watching a pantomime play out on the boards of the ocean's monumental theatre Evered alone upon it as the tempest's slow motion cal

PDF The Innocents PDF/EPUB ☆ Á horror books.co innocents kindle, The Innocents MOBIThis novel is written with a supernatural attention to detail It's as if Crummey has taken it upon himself to inhabit the interior spaces of the brother and sister that he conjures up from his imagination He inhabits their daily lives He channels them onto the page for us until I could see and feel what these characters see and feel Never mind that the world he imagines for these two is like nowhere I could have imagined on my own I'm there At just this moment I can't remember another novel I've read that so fully imagines the lives of its characters the way Crummey does here The novel is bleak but full of beauty It's a remarkable achievement
