I couldn’t say this was an enjoyable read but I found it so immersive. The narrative voice was so well characterised; every interaction, conversation and observation so well drawn that each decision or reaction Therese makes/has feels like the only way that character could possibly react. My response to this book felt really personal and I have to say, has encouraged some introspection.
