The Accidental by Ali Smith

3.0

A very interesting contemporary novel that makes you question reality. Also a great example for understanding the difference between narration and point of view. Each character's relationship to the past was my favourite aspect of the book.

However, there are inappropriate relationships in the book and, in my opinion SA is brushed over as it is happening to a teenage boy by an older woman.

Overall, there are many aspects of the novel which show the issues in society, but I believe they are overlooked or briefly mentioned.
