It took me an awfully long time to read a rather short book. In one way I liked reading it slowly and getting a sense of the time that passed during the story; but on the other hand I read the second half of the book in one sitting and enjoyed that half more. Just like Sarah Hall’s other books, of which I need to get round to reading more, the story is told in a jumbled up way but it all comes together and nothing is quite how you think it is.
