A very good book! The style in incredibly minute and poetic which can get frustrating but ultimately really works for the subject matter. I wish the author had done all of the protagonists viewpoints in 1949 as it feels like we don’t properly get an idea who they are until 1964 but oh well! 

Read if you feel stuck in life or really like the television programme : Seven Up.
