This book was lauded by many critics and won last year's Costa Novel Award. I find it hard to understand why but then I read it right after The Lacuna so that probably explains it. Members of my book group either more than loathed it or loved it. I thought the style irritating, the characters cardboard and just wonder if any of you have read it and whether you agree or disagree.
