Appreciated but Not Enjoyed
- By Tatikins. on 01-21-17
On the surface The Unseen World is a riveting mystery, a dynamic work of fiction, and a refined species of speculative sci-fi. At its core it is an emotionally-taught novel that tackles the contradiction of our modern age of information; that we are more connected and "knowledgeable" than ever, but at the same time, more isolated and less-experienced. For Ada Limon, friendship, family, and identity are abstractions to be understood, instead of realities to confront. That is until her socially-inept father slides tragically into the depths of Alzheimer’s. As Ada comes to grips with an alien world that treats her as such, Moore leads her listeners through the agile perspective of a young woman trying desperately to make sense of herself. Bolstered by Lisa Flanagan’s poised narration, the voice of Ada and her childlike yet miraculous mind leaves a bold imprint on anyone who follows this story to its quick-witted conclusion.

Sal seems to appear out of nowhere - a bruised and tattered 13-year-old boy claiming to be the devil himself answering an invitation. Fielding Bliss, the son of a local prosecutor, brings him home, where he's welcomed into the Bliss family, who assume he's a runaway from a nearby farm town. When word spreads that the devil has come to Breathed, not everyone is happy to welcome this self-proclaimed fallen angel. Murmurs follow him, and tensions rise along with the temperatures as an unbearable heat wave rolls into town right along with him.
