Mehreen Ahmed reviews The Proximity of Stars by Benedict Stuart
"The Proximity of Stars" is a delightfully intriguing story of espionage and suspense. Brian and Gary find themselves in the middle of a conspiracy when army officers descend on them by helicopter in the front-yard of their house. Their idle life changes pretty much from here onwards and takes a surrealistic turn. The mighty government poses an initial threat, rendering them helpless to fight this all powerful institution. However, more surprises lay ahead for these characters. A book that interweaves between the mundane and the sublime, confusion and clarity, this is not without intermittent comic relief either. Their harrowing experiences of life's ups and downs are both fulfilling and challenging. |
