Book Review
Helm (2025)
by Sarah Hall
The New York Times review of Helm by Sarah Hall was enough to get me to check out an E-book copy from the library. I'm a fan of ANY novel that stretches the format of the novel in any direction and a novel about a specific, named wind in the northeast of England qualifies in that department. Hall picks out different characters over time: A prehistoric shaman-ess, a 19th century scientist, a contemporary teenage girl with a mental disorder, and places them in relationships with Helm, who has their own, distinct, narrative voice. It makes for engaging reading.
