The Sense of Paper is a curious book -- it is a novel of obsessions -- and of secrets -- historic, artistic, sensual, and post-traumatic. While toying with the idea of writing a book about Turner, Charlie Hudson, an erstwhile war reporter, has a chance meeting with Sir Alan Matheson, a highly regarded painter and expert on Turner. As Charlie becomes immersed in the worlds of Turner and of Matheson, the reader is treated to a fascinating history of papermaking and the importance of paper to the watercolor genius of Turner. But the book is an odd mixture of good psychological novel writing, murder mystery investigation and romance that verges on chick-lit. I found the plot and the art history intriguing enough to keep reading, even though my toes sometime curled with the descriptions of clothes and hair-dos. I think Holden needs an editor who will let her serious writer emerge. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
“Think for a moment what paper means to people. How ubiquitous it is in everyday life….A material of paradoxes, it can be used and abused in a thousand ways and still be the same under its skin. It is the embodiment of man’s achievement, yet it is as transient and as flimsy as tissue…. In its strengths and weaknesses, faults and flaws, it is intensely human….” A lush and intoxicating blend of art history, eroticism, and suspense, Taylor Holden's The Sense of Paper is like no other debut novel you’ve ever read. An enthralling exploration of the role of paper in art, it is also the sumptuous story of a woman living on the dangerous edge of obsession, passion, and murder.
