Details:(c) Sara Maitland 1999; Pub Virago Press 2000; ISBN 1-86049-759-4
Verdict: Very mixed; has moments, but fails as a whole
Reasons for reading it: I have a good friend who enthuses about Maitland, and on her recommendation I've read a few of Maitland's short stories, which I liked enough to be prepared to try a novel.
How it came into my hands: The library
