But everything is not what it seems. There is a secret that threatens the happiness that Leah represents in Enzo’s life. She is the one who embraces his flaws and uncovers his bravery by teaching …

Stephanie Jane recenzis All Men Love Leah de Ksenija Nikolova

Stream of consciousness narrative

4 steloj

I got a different impression from its synopsis and cover art of what kind of book All Men Love Leah would be so I was delighted to end up enjoying the read even more than I thought I would. I expected a light, sundrenched romantic tale and, while the novel's glorious Pisa and Florence locations did fulfil my sun expectations, the story is actually a pretty deep stream-of-consciousness narrative illustrating how mental health problems can distort people's perspectives and understanding of the world around them. I loved how Ksenija Nikolova drew me in to the initial scenario, then skewed it just enough for me to realise that I would not be able to trust everything - or possibly anything - Enzo told me.

I'm always impressed by authors who can tell a convincing 'unreliable narrator' story and Nikolova has a real talent for this. She also has a disturbingly authentic appreciation for how Enzo relates to his reality. I did fine the scenes with Enzo's parents less believable because their dialogue seemed unnaturally stilted, but Enzo and Leah's romance is beautifully portrayed. I found myself rooting for them to overcome all the obstacles in their way.
