How Far We Fall- Jane Shemilt- Psychological

Beth is in love with Albie. Albie is a researcher working on a virus to try and eliminate
a type of fatal  childhood brainstem tumour. He is hoping that his work with his boss
Ted will lead to a contract with a pharmaceutical company and a cure, as well as
financial security for him and Beth. What he doesn’t know is that years ago
Beth had an affair with Ted and has learnt not to believe anything he says and not to
trust him as he lets people down at the last minute. When you start reading a book,
whatever the subject matter, you get a feeling of the writer, their use of words and
a little of how the book will proceed. This one stunned me from the start. There is
writing, good quality writing and then that other level , where occasionally you
have to re-read the odd sentence as the depth conveys so much more than the
individual words. Jane is a wordsmith of the highest order. You can understand
what she means and the pictures portrayed in your mind are vivid and colourful
in every way. There are theatrical introductions to some of the chapters making
it read almost like a classical play. Three sisters at the beginning making me
think of three witches. A modern twist on a classic. An interesting read.
