The Cloud of Unknowing by Thomas H. Cook

4.0

The Cloud of Unknowing by Thomas H. Cook was an ambitious book about the mysterious death of a child and the infliction of paranoid schizophrenia. The story follows the uncle of the child through his testimony with a detective and his narration of the actual events of the story. I felt both narratives intertwine perfectly and give a great sense of the mindset of all of those involved. The questions posed by the author, the language and technique of how this story was portrayed, and the level of research contributed to this novel really intrigued me. I enjoyed reading from beginning to end.
