    the raw crucible of family
  

*by M***R on Reviewed in the United States on 28 July 2011*

I'm a big fan of Sheila Kohler's work; I've read most of her novels and LOVE CHILD stands out for me as one of her best.  As with CRACKS, she is writing out of a place she knows and feels deeply--her homeland, South Africa.  Her subtle political, racial and class references prove a vast knowledge of how apartheid worked both on and below the surface of everyone's lives.  Her imagination is also operating out of the raw crucible of family and it shows in the emotive power of her narrative and the fluid profundity of her language, which is beautifully descriptive and evocative, lush and yet pointedly lean when it needs to be. And, lastly, her handling of the tricky interplay between past and present could serve as a model for any writer currently wrestling an unruly novel, or a reader simply interested in spending time in the mind of a master of form.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    un-put-downable, surprises around every corner, but profound, eye-opening, serious literature
  

*by S***M on Reviewed in the United States on 7 August 2011*

Like most of Sheila Kohler's constantly expanding oeuvre, but perhaps more than any of the others, this new novel keeps delivering startling but credible surprises.  The flashback-flashforward format seems natural almost from the beginning, and seemed to me the exact right frame for one of the novel's messages -- that life's "progress" can be driven by abrupt zigs, zags, reversals, triumphs, and unpredictable outcomes both good and bad, and when they occur there is no way to know whether they will turn out to be positive or how long they wll last.  The disparate characters -- comprising (it seemed to me) something of a sociological tour of South African society in the early and middle twentieth century (not altogether different, one imagines, perhaps from other western societies, American in particular -- are compelling, interesting, all given to self-damaging, and often other people-damaging, behavior patterns and decisions, but they are not cardboard or one-dimensional.  One of the aspects that affected me was how realsitically insuperable constraints , people's necessarily limited grasp of where things stand or, especially, where they could be going, generates life choices and decisions which may seem tragically askew in hindsight but are quite understandable given the scene when they were made.  A really great read and a really fine novel.
