I would not recommend this book...the author has used complex relationships...and it seems a lot has been said to mean a little...i doubt how it won the Booker award!!!
however, on reading the same passages twice I found that the reading becomes more pleasurable...the vocabulary used in the book is advanced and often causes problems for the readers..the language used to describe small things is too elaborate and unconventional....u may not find such usage anywhere else...the writer has moved from verse to prose....
all in all a book u will love NOT to have read..
