Reviews

[Philip Coulter · Rating 3 out of 5]

The first novel I have read by David Harsent. It's an intense but very "literary" novel - though less mythically inclined than I might have expected from his poetry.
We get some detailed snapshots of the ups and downs of a love affair. Some of it rather striking, but some of it less so.
