A small, terse story which is more novella than novel. This is an easy read about a disappointed life with a dark secret that is revealed at the end. Easy to dismiss this book as forgettable and yet it is strangely satisfying and so much better than many of the heavy, dense prize-winning novels that are too often a slog to finish.
