Like The Observations, Gillespie and I is, at heart, a book about loneliness and obsessive love. If The Observations drew on Gothic romance and sensation fiction for its inspiration, Gillespie and I follows the tradition of Henry James, using the first-person narrator to explore questions of consciousness and perception....From the vantage point of the 1930s Harriet writes enviously of the freedoms of the modern woman – her right to vote, to work, to own property – but it is the freedom of self-knowledge, the deeper psychological understanding that was to be the legacy of Freud and his peers, that Harriet, as a Victorian woman, lacks most. It is her failure to recognise this that forms the heart of this absorbing novel. Premi e riconoscimentiMenzioni
As she sits in her Bloomsbury home with her two pet birds for company, elderly Harriet Baxter recounts the story of her friendship with Ned Gillespie--a talented artist whose life came to a tragic end before he ever achieved the fame and recognition that Harriet maintains he deserved. In 1888, young Harriet arrives in Glasgow during the International Exhibition. After a chance encounter with Ned, she befriends the Gillespie family and soon becomes a fixture in their lives. But when tragedy strikes, culminating in a notorious criminal trial, the certainty of Harriet's new world rapidly spirals into suspicion and despair.
