I really enjoy the books that are able to convey the right atmosphere so I think I would like this one. And even if a book is depressing from beginning to end, I don't mind that because not everything has a happy ending after all. .-= lilly´s last blog ..The Surrendered by Chang-Rae Lee =-.

Wow, this sounds like a great book, but I think I’ll have to be in the right mood to read it.

I am totally unfamiliar with this this novel, but any book that keeps you engaged days afterward is definitely worth reading. Bleakness doesn't bother me. .-= Beth F´s last blog ..Review: The Postmistress by Sarah Blake =-.

I'm getting a little bit tired of these 'there's no hope' type of critics, it's not a valid criticism in my opinion. This sounds really good, the shortlist is ging to be a right old tough battle in what 8 days? Excited! .-= Jodie´s last blog ..The Big Readalong (or eeep a plan) =-.

I love the title and cover of this book, and despite the fact that it sounds bleak, it does interest me very much. I am going to add this one to my wish list. It looks like a fascinating book. Thanks for the great review! .-= zibilee´s last blog ..The Lunatic, the Lover, and the Poet: A Novel by Myrlin A. Hermes - 384 pgs =-.

I am unfamiliar with this book but it sounds worthwhile. I know some people prefer not to read books with such despair, but sometimes those can be the most powerful books. .-= Stephanie´s last blog ..Read-a-long: Wolf Hall =-.

I'm pleased that you managed to find some hope at the end - I found the whole thing very bleak. I agree that it earned its place on the longlist. I think it deserves a place on the short list too. The way it gets under your skin is outstanding. .-= Jackie (Farm Lane Books)´s last blog ..Sorry =-.
