![]() It’s hard to review this book without spoiling, and this is one book where spoilers really will detract from the impact of the plot I’ll try not to be too irritatingly elliptical in what I say here. Had I identified Fowler with The Jane Austen Book Club before picking up We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves, it might have given me pause, so it’s a good thing I didn’t make the connection, or I would have missed out on something very good indeed. Certainly I’d never read anything by her before, but I’ve subsequently learned that she wrote the book which served as the basis for the 2007 movie The Jane Austen Book Club, which I didn’t mind but also didn’t love (although I know many ardent fans of it). ![]() ![]() Karen Joy Fowler is a writer that I thought I had not encountered before reading her most recent novel, We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves. ![]() “Man is the only creature that refuses to be what he is.” (Albert Camus) ![]()
