I am a tremendous enthusiast of Barry Unsworth Novels and dont miss perusing his books yet the huge day came as a stun to me. I was truly discouraged by this novel, as it has a tendency to be clever yet not. I am upbeat the book was not that long to peruse and completed once I started(175 pages). The characters were great however it appear that the primary character Donald appear to lose the concentration and occupied towards different characters. I felt the book to be quite recently alright and not intriguing by any means. Would stay in my rack not to be perused once more!
