Ghost Dance by Carole Maso
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Carole Maso is the reincarnation of Virginia Woolf, and in this book she proves it.
Carole Maso is a powerful enchantress.
Some people keep old-style colored glass fishing floats near their windows to trap evil spirits as they pass; I’m pretty sure this novel is one of those. I’m not trying to call you all evil spirits. I’m just trying to say that you’ll be surrounded by light and color in a confusing and pleasant way and sometimes you’ll feel trapped but mostly it’ll be the light and the color.
You should know that she’s going to tell this story however she wants to tell it. You may find yourself in the position of having to choose between holding onto certain notions of what an author is supposed to do in a novel and, on the other hand, letting go of those notions and following Carole Maso down into the thing that is Ghost Dance.
