Annabel

#1007
Title: Annabel
Author:  Kathleen Winter
Publisher: Jonathan Cape
Year: 2010/2011
Country: Canada
480 pages

Pretty writing, an interesting story, and good parallels and symbolism (including some subtleties, like the mention of a seam ripper). However, Wayne/Annabel was so understated as to be something of a cypher. I found myself more and more frustrated by this drifting passivity, which isn't really resolved despite action at the level of the plot.
