Helpful Score: 3
I read this novel after watching the excellent film (a kind of reverse Mrs. Palfrey at the Claremont) and was so impressed I afterwards read every other book by Brian Morton (This is the best). I am currently writing a novel, and learned more about effective fiction writing reading this book than I did from any fiction how-to book. It is a marvelous read - and Morton is a master of language. I read at least 50 quality novels a year and this one is definitely in my top 5%.
