Enid’s life takes an unexpected turn when circumstances force her to confront the enigma of her past. This mystery becomes the pivot of the plot, but it’s Enid’s complex personality that truly captivates the reader.
Though tumultuous, her thoughts are portrayed with clarity and a touch of humour. Her hearing impairment leads to amusing misunderstandings and thrilling jump scares. Despite her endearing qualities, Enid struggles to accept the love and adoration she deserves.
As the story of Enid’s childhood and teen years plays out, we come to understand how she operates almost simultaneously as she figures it out for herself.
Enid is on a journey of self-knowledge that is deeply uncomfortable for her and fascinating for us. Her distress and disorder are heart-breaking; her phone calls to her mother citing interesting facts about space, calming to both of them, are captivating and funny.
Interesting Facts About Space is all at once comforting and thrilling. The people around Enid are complicated and lovely, and the mystery of her paranoia is fascinating and endearing. Emily Austin is an author who observes the world and its inhabitants closely. I love her writing.
