The Confessions of Edward Day by Valerie Martin

3.0

This novel was not as engaging or rich as Valerie Martin's Trespass, and because of the comparison, this has colored my rating. (If we had half stars, I would have bumped it up.) It's about an actor's maturation, and the unlikely story of his anmity with his literary double after said adversary saves Edward's life. I never felt completely engaged in the book's psychology. Instead, it was a light tread through a shallow stream, not unpleasant but mostly unmemorable.
