Annoyed that actual secret was never explained – all implications and unspoken understandings. Felt like I was missing something. Also super uncomfortable with racist language used. Effective rendering of grief, though, the mood definitely came through. Not sure I would have gotten as much without the intro from Niffenegger which mentioned Kipling’s loss, though, which is a point against it – should stand on its own. Was the narrator meant to be Kipling himself? Unclear. ( ) Of course I had 'The Jungle Book' and 'Rikki Tikki Tavi' as a child, but I'd never read this Kipling tale before. It unfolds as a man, driving aimlessly in his motorcar, comes across an estate tenanted by a lonely blind woman... and, it seems, several children, who are strangely elusive. The setting is vivid and lush, the language evocative - it's more of a musing of life and loss than the ghost story it might seem to be. However, the ending is peculiar and rather unsatisfying - I'm not sure what to make of it. (re-read 11/9/15) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
