Bloody decent read, grabs you by the balls right from the odd & drags you along mercilessly to the novels very last word. How many times I wished to slap foolish Fido! How silly and immoral I found Helen, so very like Anna K in many ways. Silly women. Emma is a wonderful author, I first stumbled across her reading 'Room' & I was delighted to enjoy my second book from her just as much, even though the two couldn't be any more different! Recommend to all!
