– I just finished reading this novel and am left still really engaged in the story. The reasons for that is because of all the questions that are left unanswered. I find myself trying to answer them and dying to talk to someone else about the story to see if they came up with the same "conclusions." Although this is extremely frustrating, it's also great. How often do you get to read a book that is so pervasive that as soon as you close it your mind instantly begins to wrap itself around the words, characters, the moments of the story? Anyway, I highly recommend it. I, myself, am in the process of enlisting my friends to read it so that I can finally discuss it with someone.

There's Amy and there's Ash. There's ice and there's fire. There's England and there's Scotland. Ali Smith evokes the twin spirits of time and place in an extraordinarily powerful first novel, which teases out the connections between people, the attractions, the ghostly repercussions. By turns funny, haunting and disconcertingly moving, LIKE soars across hidden borders between cultures, countries, families, friends and lovers. Subtle and complex, it confounds expectations about fiction and truths. 'Ingenious, shimmering fiction, written with a poetic grace that subtly illuminates the tensions between hope and desire, between past and present' Scotland on Sunday
