A strange little novel, with an unexpected twist at the end. I don't think I have ever read a novel with an ending like this one. I've read about murders, and suicides, and accidental deaths, but nothing like this - don't worry, I won't give it away.
It is very short. This edition is less than 200 pages, and with large print. It might be 50 thousand words. Yet the author gets his story out there and nothing seems to be missing. Not a lot of words are wasted, obviously.
His novel, Atonement, is one of my favorites. This novel is very different, but it's also finely crafted and a delight to read.
