If I could give ten stars to this book, I would, no hesitation.
“Imagine having all your own thoughts and feelings tangled up with all the thoughts and feelings of a whole other person. It can be hard, sometimes, to sort out which is which.”
It had been a while since a novel had kept me so glued to the pages, with bated breath and the desire to know what would happen next. The structure of the novel, the writing style, the prose, the characters ... it's all wonderful and perfect and intriguing and captured me from the first to the last page. The last chapter and the epilogue were rich in suspense and heartbreaking; they seriously took my heart and tore it apart.
“This is the excellent foppery of the world, that, when we are sick in fortune - often the surfeit of our own behavior - we make guilty of our disasters the sun, the moon, and the stars ... as if we were villains on necessity; fools by heavenly compulsion; knaves, thieves, and treachers by spherical predominance; drunkards, liars, and adulterers by an enforc'd obedience of planetary influence; and all that we are evil in, by a divine thrusting-on!”
As the perfect tribute to Shakespeare, If We Were Villains is a tragedy, but unlike the classics that have accompanied us throughout the reading, this leaves a light on at the end of the tunnel.
“I am all too aware of my own desperate need to find a message in the madness, and as it takes shape I am suspicious, afraid to hope. But the implications of the text and its small part in our story are impossible to ignore, too critical for a scholar as meticulous as James to overlook.”
I can't stress enough how much I truly loved this novel. As I said, I would give it a higher rating, but I guess I have to settle for 5 stars.
