![]() There are plenty of twists and turns, there are a few dark moments which were great. I like the story as such, after all I did finish the book and I did enjoy the ending. Each chapter goes from either Simon & Catherine, who are the two main characters in the novel. It was written in the first person, which I don´t mind, but each chapter I read I was wondering who it was, even though the chapter title was clear, I didn´t find it clear. I might be one of the few who didn´t go wow when I read this book, I found it too jumpy, from different times and places. ![]() And he’s determined not to disclose his past to all he meets, even if it means resorting to extreme and violent measures.Ĭatherine only gets her answer 25 years later when Simon suddenly reappears on her doorstep.ĭuring their furious final confrontation, they discover the secrets, lies and misunderstandings that tore them apart, and then brought them face-to-face one last time.

We get to see into Elspeth and Davey’s minds and really experience the growth of their relationship. ![]() In my opinion, this is a great way to tell this story. Letters from Skye takes the style of a collection of letters. With her mother gone, Margaret resorts to contacting a long-lost uncle and travelling to Skye for the answers to her questions. This prompts Elspeth to go to London without warning and looking for Davey. Meanwhile, in 1940, Elspeth’s daughter, Margaret, has stumbled across her mother’s old letters. Davey volunteers as an ambulance driver in France, prompting Elspeth to overcome her fear of boats in order to see him. ![]() Thus begins a friendship that blossoms into romance just as war begins.

And also, as one might expect at this time in history, Meyrink tackles nationalism, demagoguery, and racism (although strangely, he does use a racial slur more than once to describe the Zulu so you've been warned).įrankly, The Green Face isn't quite as good as The Golem, but I'd certainly rate it much higher than his The Angel at the West Window. Meyrink's commentary on civilization is excellent here, as is his take on contemporary culture. Here, though, a new element creeps into the story, a dark ending that is clearly a reflection of the anxieties of the time - I mean, it is 1916 World War I is still going - and the end, which many readers have noted as "apocalyptic". In this novel, Kabbalah, Buddhism, mysticism, and other esoteric beliefs find their way onto the pages secret knowledge is given and the recurring idea is the way to transcendence of the physical self, and indeed of the physical world, while keeping one foot in both. Once again turning to legend as a basis for his book, this time Meyrink uses the story of the Wandering Jew, and as in The Golem, he also incorporates several different types of esoteric and occult elements within the text. It is certainly classic Meyrink, though, and anyone who's read his The Golem would have to agree that the two books were definitely the work of the same person. This is one trippy book, and that's putting it mildly. ![]() ![]() ![]() The closer Teddy gets to the truth, the more elusive it becomes. How has a barefoot woman escaped from a locked room?
