A tale within a tale

"Tony & Susan" is a powerful, absorbing psychological novel of anger, repressed feelings and betrayal. The narrative voice entrices, compells and lures one into the tale of murder, anguish and justice in "Nocturnal Animals" while in parallel, examines the thoughts and feelings of the reader, being Susan. The fact that the novel is titled "Tony & Susan" and not "Edward & Susan" is indicative. One of the central themes examined was that of passiveness and letting events and people sweep one by. The powerful character studies within does make this disturbing novel a worthwhile read. Recommended.

Note: This work is not a thriller. This is a literary novel. If one reads it expecting a supermarket thriller, one would be severely disappointed.
