Claire Cameron has created a unique portrait of Carrie, a young woman whose actions are driven by grief and shame, her personality a beguiling combination of naïveté and streetsmarts. Frank is equally sharply drawn, his flashes of humour and tenderness disguising the wreckage within. Written in spare, unvarnished prose that brims with menace against the forbidding backdrop of a northern landscape, The Line Painter takes us on a riveting trip down a twisted road of memory and redemption.
I read a favourable review of this book on a blog. Since Carrie is from Toronto, I thought I'd check it out.
I enjoyed the writing style. It was a quick pace and didn't take me long to get through it.
I didn't like Carrie and I thought the decisions she made, before and after her car broke down, were dumb. I didn't find Frank likeable either.
So I would recommend this book for the writing style. Let me know if you like the story better than I did.
