I massively enjoyed this. It had a Richard Yates vibe, a kind of suburban Americana setting and style but British, which really worked for me - also reminded me of a kind of more literary Mavis Cheek (whom I love). The plot truly pulled me along and the twist genuinely knocked me off my feet - did not see it coming! A subtle and moving ending, bringing some realism to what could have been a fantastic tale. Loved it - a new favourite. Highly recommended.

Gillade konflikten. Hennes åtrå, lust, intellektuella hunger och skam som får levas ut till fullo. Den va inte helt och fullt fängslande hela vägen igenom trots att kärnan va kittlande.
