Mrs Osmond

Seeing the events through her eyes adds layers of complexity and ambiguity. I wonder if this shift changed how readers interpret her character.

The pacing felt deliberate, almost meditative, but I’d love to hear if others found it enriching or a bit dragging during those sections.

Banville’s take offers a fresh lens on familiar characters. I’m curious whether the author aimed to challenge our sympathies or deepen the story’s themes.
