I normally love Patrick Gale, but this was a little disappointing. Ben and Laura, lovers at University, meet up years later when their lives are simply too complicated to allow them any space. It jumps around in time and alternates between the two characters, adding in complications and problems. I found it frustrating and thought the ending rather weak. But it's a short book, so I didn't feel I'd wasted too much of my time.
