This was a book that my daughter had to read as part of her university work and she suggested I might like it. It was unlike just about any other book I had read (although perhaps a sort of lightweight “Remembrance of Things Past“. As the story unfolded I did eventually become “hooked”. It was never going to be a real page-turner – but an enjoyable read – and it shone a light on many ‘difficult’ aspects of life – much bigger things, perhaps than the specifics introduced within the story.
