5/19/2023 0 Comments Attachments by Rainbow Rowell![]() ![]() But I think that criticism is frivolous enough to overlook. The point in the novel, towards the end, when things seem to start really happen, seems slightly staged like the author realised it was beginning to drag and so just kicked in her ending without it quite fitting yet. ![]() This, I have found, is quite common among contemporary/realistic books because there are no major plot twists, action sequences or mutant villains to hurry the plot along. If I had to criticise Attachments, I would say that it can drag in places. This, I suppose, could be upsetting for some younger readers, although Rowell deals with the topics expertly. ![]() Although this meant I missed some of the cultural references, it was interesting to observe the change and continuity to the present day.Īll this being said, the book does deal with relationship issues and miscarriages. This book was particularly interesting for me as it is mostly set in 1999, three years before I was born. Lincoln’s high school sweetheart and Doris the cleaning lady excellently, as well as a host of other characters. We get to know Beth’s boyfriend, Jennifer’s husband. Attachments is the first novel written by Rainbow Rowell, published in 2011. The novel also deals superbly with secondary characters. ![]()
