Winner of the Commonwealth Writer's Award 2007.
Universally praised in the blogosphere, I found myself feeling surprisingly neutral when I'd finished reading. I analysed it and myself to death in the week since and have finally captured my thoughts here. The book improved while reviewing, finally earning a respectable *** 1/2.
