![]() Her writing is almost cinematic as the landscapes and the people were played out before me. The author writes in an unusual style that I particularly loved. Boundary is a character itself, it is full of charm, it is beguiling and mysterious if one could venture into the woods. ![]() The scenes surrounding the location for me anyway are this books greatest strength. It is so painstakingly and vividly described, It almost felt like I was there and could smell the heat and the woods. The author of this book clearly knows the location like the back of her hand. Perhaps there is no such thing as a carefree summer after all, as a melancholy descends and things slowly seem to unravel. A cast of individual and often troubled characters piqued my interest. Told cleverly from various viewpoints, the story builds over the pages much like the claustrophobic heat of the summer. Summer days and carefree attitudes are forever altered by this turn of events. The lazy days of summer are meandering by until a girl, Zaza goes missing. ![]() Set against the backdrop of 1967, 'Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds' and 'A Whiter Shade of Pale' are our soundtrack. I found this book though to be equally exhilarating. ![]() It is indeed a crime novel but with none of the pace of recent thrillers. ![]() Boundary is a spectacular book and not entirely what I was expecting. ![]()
