Children of Darkness and Light, by Nicholas Mosley

droppedImage-7

In
Children of Darkness and Light, Mosley's fiction reaches a stunning, final maturity that raises the game of the novel itself. (Independent on Sunday)

My thoughts (hastily scribbled on a postcard):

A strange book - one that demands a second reading. Perhaps it says too much, perhaps too little - the overall message seems much the same as Hopeful Monsters, only less developed. And more confusing - I’m not quite sure what happened in the end.
