I read this one very quickly! Partly that was because it was a short book - only 126 pages in the print edition - but also because it was well paced and kept me turning the pages. It was essentially an extended short story in it's form.
The story is told from a single viewpoint, which seems unusual nowadays, but, for a shorter piece, makes sense. It is a kind of love story, built upon an investigation of a historical artefact, which is slowly revealed. In the same way that the investigation reveals more, as the story progresses, we learn more about Sian, the main character. This culminates in a nice twist towards the end. All in all, a good read.
