Review of 'Shroud' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
I reckon there’s a lot more to this book than Old Bloke gets saucy with young wan as is Banville’s wont. It’ll take some time to digest everything I read on these pages - and not just the velvet prose. What is for certain is that he seems to have absolutely owned both the privileged old white man character and the “whose life are we living” question.
