This book is a short drama centered around the consequences of a young man entering the conflict between a married woman he is seeing and her philandering husband.
It's sad, tense, cerebral, but calm at the same time.
The epilogue made it for me. Otherwise, this book was very hard to get through. It's written beautifully, but it's a downer.
