By the Orange Prize-shortlisted Jill Dawson, a riveting novel that folds a brilliant portrait of Patricia Highsmith into a tale of duplicity, madness and murder – ‘a creepy cracker’ Mail on Sunday
We were delighted to receive copies of this book via RGFE and I had also been recommended it via a friend. We weren't blown away by it: we didn't like the main character and found it a bit confusing and long-winded to begin with. The feelings of unease and discomfort were well expressed but in the end, we simply felt that we didn't care! I would say however that none of us have read Patricia Highsmith and I have a feeling that had we been familiar with her and her novels, we may have enjoyed this a bit more.
