Toronto writer Catherine Bush made quite a splash with her first novel, Minus Time, which was shortlisted for the Smith/Books in Canada First Novel Award and the Toronto Book Award in 1994. Like its predecessor, The Rules of Engagement advertises its author as a savvy inhabitant of the global village. Arcadia Hearne, the protagonist, an expert on war, sits in a nice little institute and her cozy London flat pontificating on the world's trouble spots. Enter her sister Lux, a globetrotting celebrity VJ, with an appeal to help an actual refugee, and Arcadia's world is turned upside down. Could she be hiding from life? For Arcadia, friends and lovers are fellow duellists from whom one always eventually withdraws. We follow her back to Toronto and to her youth, to the origin of this emotional block. In this well-crafted, even gripping read, Bush draws us inexorably through a web of beautiful vistas and clever wordplay toward the denouement. It is, however, a risky exercise--the writing and the plot teeter between great art and utter pretension. The writer might have pulled it off, were said denouement anywhere near as fulfilling as she leads us to believe. Unfortunately writing is a bit like sex (an activity well covered here): without a real climax, the most brilliant foreplay is nothing but a tease. --Robyn Gillam, Audio CD, Edition: Abridged, Format: Abridged, Format: Audiobook, Étiquette: BTC Audiobooks, BTC Audiobooks, Groupe de produits: Book, Publié: 2004-09-27, Studio: BTC Audiobooks, Vente de rang: 3288263.
