Enough - by Dawn French

I really enjoyed this book. It is quite well written, with a good pace and well-drawn characters. It manages to address a very serious subject, while still injecting humour. It is quite emotional, particularly the twist towards the end. I was entertained and made to think - just what I like in a book.

I have one downer: the quality of editing - or lack thereof. At one point there is a flashback, where Etta aged 5 uses the word “ninja”; this word was not in the English vocabulary in 1963. At another point someone is slapped in the face and there is a reference to a “welt”; this word refers to a serious, but not open, wound, like you might get from a whip. Was the editor lazy or incompetent or do publishers skip such editing for high-profile author or are they just saving money. Disappointing either way.
