Peter Tennant * BLACK STATIC * Michelle Paver is one of my favourite writers at the moment.Terrify your loved ones this Christmas with some of Paver's best * STARBURST * Paver constructs her narrative expertly. Class, fortitude, morality and brotherly animosity are the major themes in this highly readable novel * ATTITUDE * Paver's perfectly realises the quintessential priviledged gentleman-explorer characters - their casual racism and snobbery shocking to a modern reader, yet very authentic feeling * SCHOOL LIBRARIAN * Paver is superb at describing the Himalayan landscape.This is a finely wrought example of the classic, Jamesian ghost story.made extra special and disturbing by the bleak, wintery setting.
