Book Review
"To stay in the gloaming is to hold off the night. But if the night never comes, then neither can the day."
The Gloaming
was released in the UK on 19th April 2018. It is written by Kirsty Logan and published by Harvill Secker.This is another entry into the growing trend of 'grown-up fairy tales,' like Eowyn Ivey's The Snow Child and Claire Fuller's Swimming Lessons. I like this genre but it can be dangerous, bordering on the cutesy if you're not careful. However, Kirsty Logan manages to walk the line quite well and The Gloaming is an immersive read that's a bit different from anything else out there at the moment.
