Thanks for the comments -- I could have gone on and on about this book but decided I had written enough. Such a complex, meaty book. And I forgot to mention that it was shortlisted for the Booker Man, isn't that right, Gabrielle? Along with "The Children's book", which I am currently reading. Winner was Wolf Hall, which I want to read.
