Haigh tells a terrific story. She has a subtle and rather classy touch which was effective against the storyline she chose to write about. There are some beautiful lines throughout and it all made for a smooth and engrossing read for me. I loved it. Thoroughly recommended.
If this book appeals then you might like to try [[A Bit Of A of a Scandal by Mary Rose Callaghan]]. We also have a review of Haigh's [[The Condition by Jennifer Haigh|The Condition]].
