With Attend published in the US and Canada on 1 May, Foreword Reviews magazine has published an excellent review, written by Letitia Montgomery-Rodgers.
‘ From its opening gambit to its final line, Attend demands and rewards attention. Camel’s magical realism opens trenchant depths in the ordinary, elevating the raw details—both emotional and prosaic—of people’s lives into moving motifs. Relayed with lyricism and compassion, Attend is “somewhere between a Bible story and an ugly fairy tale: never wanting to settle on either.” ’
I love that Letitia quotes from the novel itself to describe it!
