Well, I’m about halfway through this most beautifully written piece of prose. The initial premise is well- known. New guy in school meets outsider etc. but is the language and depth of characterisation that makes this seem utterly new and refreshing.
I strongly recommend it to be read. You will thank me!!
Personally, I really enjoyed this pov as it was clearly signposted. What drives me mad, especially in Netflix “thrillers” and other genres is time jumping as well as viewpoint. I’m getting old and too much cleverness confuses me. Here Sean has not made that “mistake” and I think this chp adds a different cone and texture.
This story is, I think, at the level of language, the best writing I’ve seen here this year. Unlike this last sentence!
great work mr Sean
“Chris’s house was in Constantia, that beautiful, expensive valley of mountain vistas, city vineyards and Botoxed housewives sipping Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc on rotation.”
Yes! I’ve been there but had forgotten the name. One memory was all these amazing houses surrounded by high fences and wire.
You are one hour ahead of Spain, I think, in that case. But I would have thought that Romania is in same time zone as Germany, Italy etc. I might have to get up earlier to catch your posts first and stake out some claims before certain people ( you know who you are!) try to grab your heroes for themselves!!
much love, Laura, I so enjoy your work 🤗🤗🤗
I’m not sure what to say because I don’t want to allow any “spoilers” here. Just an amazingly intense weekend is described which as you read you feel, o, yes, I know how this is going to end. This is a squirmingly good read. So very good and with a coherent and moving ending. Well done 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I think the sign of a really quality comedy/drama on GA is the way the writing provokes such a great reaction between the readers, Laura, Mrs M, Carlos H are the best examples for me. Laura, I am so enjoying this but it’s now moved from Shakespeare to Italian opera! How are you going to resolve this? I know we must be patient…
great stuff, and many thanks, Gary
This one is a bit different from the world of Sunny Hill etc. but the early bird readers all say we are intrigued… believe us and follow, this is one to watch from the pen of a really good author. 👏
Well, well, well, Ms Laura.. This is a tad different. But I’m very intrigued and, yet again, you’ve got me hooked!,, great characters and fascinating start. 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
