Book review for Newcity: "The Road from Belhaven" by Margot Livesey

DateMonday, April 1, 2024 at 04:04PM

For Newcity, I reviewed the new novel by Margot Livesey, “The Road From Belhaven.” I should hope my writeup will help the book reach anyone interested in Scottish culture and history and/or coming-of-age stories. (I should say that I do not actually believe that Jane Eyre, a fictional character, wrote “Mansfield Park” and “Persuasion.” That gaffe was inserted by an editor. However, I've actually come to like it as a kind of po-mo slip.)
