Going Out

Product Information

I was quickly under the influence of her powerful word voodoo and keenly felt the characters’ frustrations, discomforts, confusion, and fatigue. Together they are a pair that has consoled each other in their worries and fears, and over the years developed a bond where their vulnerabilities provided the glue. I truly felt like that passenger on the rollercoaster as it made that gradual creeping along climb inching closer and closer to the top, scared for the drop you know is coming.

Kubica presents the story of Jessie Sloane, a young twenty year old, who faces the heaviness of her mother's last days after a diagnosis of cancer. Set in Chicago and Wisconsin, WTLGO is written from two women’s perspectives (mother and daughter) as well as dual timelines and locations. Spell for going out in the day: recitation by the Osiris, supervisor of archivists of the Lord of the Two Lands, Ramose, justified, after opening the tomb. I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley and HARLEQUIN - Hanover Square Press in exchange for an honest review. For all of her life, it’s been just the two of them and questions regarding her father remain unanswered.Going Out” is, as many of Scarlett’s books are, an eclectic mix of the human experience mixed with topics and subjects you never knew could be connected – my inner zeal for knowledge and finding connections with anything (even if you think there’s none there) truly feels fangirly after reading any of her books, and “Going Out” is no exception to the feeling. Overall, this made me smile a lot, it was a very quick read, and as with Thomas’ other works, gave me some food for thought. I’ve been interested in reading Kubica for a while, but after this book I’m hesitant to pick up another. First published in 2002, it's something of a bridge between the author's slightly amateurish earlier novels and her superior later work (which in my opinion begins with 2004's PopCo).

It’s like this great, mystical process that is totally overshadowed by the importance of securing a literary agent. The effects of the insomnia make Jessie an unreliable narrator, smoothed by the insertion of her mother’s point of view at key intervals. The reader is left wondering if what is happening is real or is she hallucinating due to lack of sleep? She lives in a Victorian house near the sea and spends a lot of time reading Chekhov and Katherine Mansfield. Jessie Sloane is a young woman who has spent several years caring for her cancer-stricken mother, Eden.It has been quite the controversy in the book world because I can tell you, of all the twists you can imagine it probably won’t be the one that occurs. What gave me trouble was Jessie’s almost incoherent musings as the number of days of her insomnia grew. Jessie is unable to forgive herself for missing her mother’s final moments, and she is terrified to go to sleep. The ending manages to wrap everything up happily for everybody without being completely implausible - well, not really, and by this point I liked all of them so much that I didn't really mind if one or two things were a bit far-fetched.
