What Members Thought

I enjoyed this a lot. Strong parallels between this book and The Good Soldier. Also ties in nicely with Old Filth. But in my opinion, Barnes does a much better job and with nice brevity compared to Gardam.
I am looking forward to the discussion of this one on CR here next month.
Definitely want to try some more Barnes in 2012. ...more
