Depressing novel. Reading is my happy place and while I read all kinds of books, some of them sad, Daniel Mason needs to find another niche. I very much liked his first novel, the Piano Tuner so decided to try this one out. Why does he have to pick a another plot where someone is thrust into the great unknown and it doesn't come out so good? He's a good writer---he needs to stretch himself away from the isolated, sad and dreary.
