A Room Swept White by Sophie Hannah

2.0

Usually, Sophie Hannah's intricate plots are interesting, unpredictable and manages to create suspense. This book, however, is just one convoluted mess and I found myself indifferent to the fate of the characters. Simon's antagonism towards Proust was also irritating; it felt like Hannah decided there had to be some friction between her regular characters and this antagonism was the next best thing to having Charlie squabble with Liv or agonising because Simon won't have sex with her.
