This is one of her earlier titles, and it's fairly obvious. The characters aren't as richly drawn as in her more recent books, and her language isn't as poetic. It's still recognizably her, but somehow this novel feels like a prototype for the far-superior Thursday's Child--the same bleak landscape and poverty-stricken farm, a similar dysfunctional family. Somehow, though, despite the absence of any small feral child digging subterranean tunnels, Sleeping Dogs feels less realistic, less believable. Still, though, a good effort--just not one I'd recommend as a starting point into Hartnett's body of work. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Compared to the other Hartnett's that I've read, this one seems, to me, just a bit exaggerated, a bit implausible, a bit soap opera.?á But, unfortunately, it's probably all too realistic. ( )
