Reviews

[Cameron Trost]

"O Caledonia" is a short, beautifully written book whose prose is pleasant and evocative. The problem is that one expects a novel to have a story - some form of plot - and this one doesn't. Halfway through, the reader is still waiting for something to happen, and that, especially in a short novel, is just no good.
