A Sense of Occasion: A Book I’m Still Not Entirely Comfortable Recommending

Brodie Crellin’s debut is perceptive, darkly funny, and deliberately uncomfortable. Audrey Keller admires its portrait of family self-deception—even when she questions how far the novel chooses to push it.

PROFILE CALIBRATION COMPLETE

Behavioural baseline restored.
Current score: 350
Continued observation is required.

GRACE would like to observe you.

Not in the interesting Silverdale way. Just boring website analytics: which pages are visited, how people arrive here, and whether anyone actually reads this far.

You may allow anonymous analytics, or continue unobserved. GRACE will cope.
