The Life and Death of Sophie Stark by Anna North
4.0
I received this from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
I devoured this book. It hooked me right form the start, and I needed to know how it ended. One reviewer mentioned that it was "a negative portrait" or something to that effect, and that phrase stuck with me as I was reading this. It's a book about art, movies, not fitting in, about life and the impact we have on others. Told through magazine articles as well as conversations with people who knew her, Sophie Stark comes alive on the page. It's easy to see glimpses of yourself and those around you within the pages. The Life and Death of Sophie Stark is a gem, and I look forward to reading more works by this author.
