I’ve just finished reading Sarah Hall’s new novel Helm. It is a truly astonishing thing, this book, so vivid that you keep wondering how she could have been witness to all those events, from the Neolithic onwards. Then you remember she made them up. But how? 🧵1/5

I went and ordered this book based solely on your review of it here. About 3/4 through and wanted to say thank you- I’m enjoying it immensely.

She has that extraordinary gift, shared by so few – Tolstoy, Chekhov, Maupassant, Elliot …. – of making you believe that what you are reading is real, as if all she has done is to wipe a window clean so you can see through it. 2/5
