Desquiet, by Julia Leigh

Just finished reading Disquiet. Wonderfully written by Australian writer, Julia Leigh. I love this type of writing where «nothing seems to be happening», action wise but at the same time, you always having that uneasy feeling of the world shifting powerfully. Mingarelli's prose is like that. And this little book absolutely did that. It's the kind of story that stays with you for days after you've finished it. You have trouble starting a new book because this one is still lingering inside. The mood, the feeling is like a tinted fog that just hangs there. This review expresses well what fascinated me throughout the book. One particularity is that the main charactors are referred to as «the woman», «the boy» and «the girl»... except when someone was talking them (so we do know their names). This was disconcerting and very strange. It created, combined with many other little details, a certain disembodiement. A very good read indeed... I must now find her other books !!!
