A complex tale of mental health and its consequences which divides your allegiance between the law and human compassion. The narrative is best absorbed in larger sections - reading in a dip-in, dip-out fashion is less rewarding.
Beautifully written, as can be anticipated from Faulks.

The story the book tells is more difficult and demanding to read because it deals with a lot of difficult subjects. On the whole, I think the book is really worthwhile to read.
