Normally to be found in South Wales or Ireland. An unhealthy obsession with literature & the musicals of Stephen Sondheim has led to a very happy 33 years on this planet.
This book was a bit of a challenge but definitely worth it. The first 1/3 of the novel was really tough going but it's worth perservering. It's a bleak story and both the setting of the novel and the writing are opressive. However, it's a novel I have found often in my thoughts since reading it.
