A review by rickz
Magnified World by Grace O'Connell
5.0
Reading a good novel in a style outside one's usual preferences is always a delight.
Grace has created a wonderful first book-length work. The plot and story line take the reader on an interesting journey as the protagonist unpacks and processes her mother's suicide. I particularly enjoyed the detailed colouring of every day events and observations woven into the writing.
Having the story set in familiar Toronto haunts and written by someone I know personally only rounded out this enjoyable read for me.
