Revealing Read
Queen of the Tambourine
Review
Interesting and cleverly written novel which takes notions of the unreliable narrator to the extreme in terms of unwell Eliza’s narrative, told through a series of letters to friend Joan. Eliza’s illness emerges slowly and subtly throughout until the end of the novel when reader is led to question the validity and existence of all events and people in the novel. An increasingly manic tone to the language, including subtly placed neologisms and clanging, mirrors Eliza’s descent.
