It's no Rebecca, but it did have a strange surreal charm all its own.
Slow moving but fully held my attention. One moment where I exclaimed out loud and had to explain the unexpected twist to the people sitting next to me. It's sort of a murder mystery, but more than that, it's a deep dive into two people and the relationship between them, which was fascinating in itself.
Everything became more subtly surreal as the story went on; our narrator becomes more and more unsettled and lost, so you take that emotional journey with him.
