From the Heart, is a coming of age - and coming out novel by Susan Hill, published in March by Chatto and Windus. Susan Hill is, of course, the author of The Woman in Black, which I always confuse with Wilkie Collins’ The Woman in White, and eagerly anticipate histrionic Victorian japery feat. madness instead of illegitimate-child-related ghoulishness. There is neither ghoulishness nor histrionics in From the Heart. It is a simple, touching book that follows the story of Olive Piper who, on account of her passion for literature, is encouraged by a teacher to go to university. Susan Hill, no matter in what genre she is writing, and she is a very versatile author, never fails to inspire me to want to write. She writes from the heart, so this book is aptly titled. She takes perfectly ordinary situations- friendship, love, birth, death, marriage, second marriages - and explores the emotions of them and the impact on the lives of the characters, the choices we make.
