Narration Toward Books Every Eye

This book is not a love letter, -- not to you, not to anyone.

But I love this book. I absolutely adore it, -- not just the content but the smallness of the book, the feel of it in my hands. The paper, like the prose, is delicate and crisp. You slip into Hatty's skin the way one slips into a white, cotton dress: simply, matter-of-factly. And yet, there's something truly lovely about it. This book is painfully lovely in its candor, as if the narrator never realized she was thinking out loud...

I'm not entirely certain anyone else will appreciate this as I do. (I can't be objective!) All I can say is, Hatty and her still, small voice deserve your ear.

Weigh Up Appertaining To Books Every Eye

Published by Persephone Books. It is a book to be reread. Beautifully written.

I find that many novellas sneak up on me: I spend the first 50 or even 75 pages feeling underwhelmed, struggling against the compression of the form, and just when I've got into the rhythm of the language and begun to be truly invested in the characters...the thing is over. Such was certainly the case with Isobel English's 1956 novella Every Eye. English writes with a careful precision that at first struck me as cold and unapproachable, but later came to seem like a perfect, unassuming vessel

Every Eye has the distinction of being the first Persephone book I have read. The Persephone books can be easily distinguished by their grey covers and lovely end papers, taken from the period in which the book was written. I do suggest looking at their website, but beware you may fall in love with these beautiful books and want to collect them all!This book was a surprising library find for me surprising because a) Im in Australia, a long long way from Persephone Books and b) my library is

I wanted to love "Every Eye" as I love all the Persephone books (the idea of them, at least!) but this one left me perplexed, a bit bored and somewhat blue. Such a tiny tome, filled with very poetic writing and sadness, so much sadness I felt.I couldn't really care for any of the characters (however few), it was hard to engage and proceed, but I got to the ends And that was the best thing. Subtle, but deadly (excuse the pun).A little enigma of the book, for me will I ever understand why some

The writing is beautiful. The sentences are constructed with such care and finesse. But the religious elements turned me off a bit, even though the plot (such as it is) does contain a lovely bang right at the end. Worth a read. Very short. But not particularly compelling.

3.5 starsI thought this book was beautifully written (as you may have gathered from the quotes I added in the updates), with lovely descriptions and metaphors often derived from nature.I loved it up until the last page, where the 'big reveal' (hinted at in some reviews and also in the introduction, which I didn't read until afterwards) felt more like an anticlimax, and left me with a profound feeling of 'so what'.Fun fact (not a spoiler for the book): (view spoiler)[Belgian TV is currently
