A slightly slower start as this is a book that drops you straight into the story and the context is revealed gradually. It unfolds gently, without much happening but it's a beautifully written piece about two people with flaws and challenges, trying to navigate an imperfect world.
It's a short book and there are plenty of threads still unravelled by the end. The female character's story perhaps remains more hidden than the male character's. But then life isn't always simple and fully explained and there aren't always best endings to things.
I would read more by this author (but perhaps only when I was in the right mood)
