Gothic accents

A book to be very strange atmosphere as this one, between Gothic novel and movie dHitchcock (Psychosis) in which Chloe Hooper manages to lead us effortlessly without visible process other quune well conducted narration.

Liese Campbell is a London architect that the crisis is unemployed, she then emigrated to Australia where his uncle holds a real estate agency in Melbourne. It becomes realtor and a tour of apartments and houses. This is where what meets Alexander Colquhoun, a rich potential buyer. At its dune Liese soffre visits to him and in return he pays; this game continue until that Australias Liese decided to leave. Alexandre linvite then spend a weekend with him at his estate, as a farewell.

This is what camera scary constitutes three quarters of the novel and in which we ask ourselves repeatedly Liese if the narrator is really trustworthy. She and Alexandre are characters both believable and unbelievable but Chloe Hooper nevertheless managed to make possible in a dusty maze decor bathed in English Literature (Walpole, Dickens or Poe) and unreal atmospheres where consciences are locked into delusion to varying degrees.

To read, Chloe Hooper deserves a discovery.
