This is a well written novel. The language used is exquisite, the characters are well defined, and the plot is interesting.
I would almost add the word ‘sultry’ to this review. The relationship is difficult, but then becomes intense. It only begins to make sense once the final part is finished. The intricacies of the relationships with all characters are explored in the light of the time, and it’s a book I would thoroughly recommend.
