“One arrives like spittle landing: an emptiness that clings.”
Say you weren't of this world but wanted to be...what would you give, how would you know you'd arrived?
Lily is an outsider who'll do anything to get in...Francis Steerlock, a middle-aged drifter with a ready smile, hides a hopeless obsession...Sonia, a young hitch-hiker, challenges Francis in an elaborate game of hide-and-seek... elderly Mrs. Stoppit, riven by loneliness, develops an ominous condition...Queenie's pre-adolescent fascination with the elusive Sonia leads her—and her little brother Tick—across the safe borders of childhood.
When these half-dozen strangers, with best intentions, take an unexpected route to the worst that can happen, cross-currents of truth and desire, body and soul, obligation and ignorance, self and other, demand a reckoning. Startling and luminous, cut with metaphysical wit, the Amateur tracks this expedition into the gist of what it may cost—for better and worse—to be human.
“Fluh-dump, goes the heart. Fluh-dump. It's not as simple as it looks.”

Luno A writer is good when she can break your heart on every page and you can't, for all that, bailout of finishing her book... Nothing escapes Farrell's awake eye. Blurred dreams run scared... the fruits of the eye anchor metaphor run riot, the latter relieved for a day from the plain work of illumination: in her description of the world---maybe it's me, I 'see things'... as though I were touring a lovely, old, abandoned house, and casually told of the crimes witnessed there---perhaps I see too many things, real or unreal, no difference, no point, too many. In the freighted names of ordinary townsfolk, dead singers, guilt-ridden writers in mismatched bodies in mismatched affections, a tormenting slit in a dress, unwanted obsession, a ghoul with a pastry in his pocket ("He always thought of her."), a parade, a small team of hapless humanity. A travesty of fate and affection. But is it one, two, three or more persons in one body?But these lives---or life---because at times one wonders if the same person----girl/woman---has not been slit asunder at the stitches of her life, parts on display and trial, only half surviving... make for a better story than, say, Wilder's famous little meditation on the lives of seemingly random travellers come together on an ancient, doomed bridge. The Bridge of San Luis Rey was less psychologically liquid than Farrell's. At the end of that book, the Abbess observes: "There is a land of the living and a land of the dead and the bridge is love, the only survival, the only meaning." The bridge falls, the house burns... the river runs on. For all its predictability, no one is "professional" at fate. The Amateur is fine literary pastry, a Bismarck pregnant with sweet and bitter secrets.
