What Members Thought
It’s slow burn. Lots of literary references. Character driven— morally grey of course. Terrible, elitist, confusing, privileged people but you can’t help but sympathise with & make you question your morals too. It is gorgeously written and I cannot believe it is on my shelves for many years and have not picked it up until now.
