4.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating on sisterhood, imagination and reality, 8 Aug 2001
By A Customer
My personal favorite thing about Byatt's novels are the visual aspects - the shapes and structures that take form in my mind while I read. "The Game" left me with strange, disturbing and demanding images that have stayed with me for a long time. In the novel the author moves on the borderline between reality and imagination, and plays with questions of fact and fiction. Byatt does this well. A strong narrative is important in a good novel - and "The Game" has a fascinating and well constructed plot - although I did find it a little "wordy" and slow at times - like Iris Murdoch. (Brilliant, but sometimes rather boring, to be honest.) AND: For once "idea-people" come accross as real people in a novel, not just literary constructions. So this is a story about real people and abstract ideas and their complex unity. I feel at home in it...
