Book Review – Cuckoo by Sophie Draper
My review A hollow creaky house, a haunting melody from the pear drum, a hurl from the bannister, and a hallucinating main character make this book a vortex of swirling visions. Here realities are dreams, and dreams are illusions. The images painted have their base in stories, and these stories prey on the mind till […]
