An Experiment in Love by Hilary Mantel

4.0

I was gripped by this book and could hardly bear to put it down. The characters are so real (and clearly there is an element of autobiography in the central narrator). I don't want to put in any spoilers but suffice to say you get the feeling that it isn't going to end happily, and it doesn't. Hilary Mantel is a powerful writer and I found this book very satisfying indeed.
