I rather liked this book; I found it to be very much in the same vein as books of Ann Patchett's - that slow movement of story along with a lot of subtle underlying thought. Cawley shows well the potentially destroying nature of obsessive relationships, while showing also how possible it is to become enthralled in such. His description of the relationships within the book is simplistic in a way which does not require elaboration, it shows the nature of the relationship between the two main characters without needing to elaborate, explain or justify. I enjoyed this very much.
