Book Reviews of Voice Over (French Voices)
Book Review: original, yet drags slightly
Summary: 3 Stars
Celine Curiol's first novel is original and haunting. Written in a third person narrative, the novel tells the story of a young French woman, obsessed with an already attached man. Working as an announcer in the train station, the woman spends the novel aimlessly wandering the city, having chance encounters with strange men and anxiously awaiting a phone call from the man.
Similar to classic stories such as The Awakening or the Yellow Wallpaper, the novel tells a convincing story of a woman driven almost to insanity by a man. The writing is fresh and original, a story that could be read by future generations in a feminist literature class. However, the lack of chapters, and third person narrative can cause the novel to drag a bit towards the middle. If you are looking for a light read, this novel may not be what you are looking for.
