I found this book riveting; always looking forward to the next spell of reading it. The structure is similar to A Perfectly Good Man insofar as it is non-linear. Each chapter is introduced by the exhibition notes to a picture and the text appertains to that time period. Reading the book is like completing a jigsaw - the total picture gradually emerges. But there are pieces missing, where the reader is left to imagine what is in the gaps. It is all I can do to read something other than another of Gale’s books, but I will be back for more soon!
