It's been sitting on my bookshelf for years, but I've never felt ready to read it. Deceptively simple, deceptively complex, well pitched and gripping. But also philosophically and chronologically dubious, with a disturbingly negative attitude towards men that would be blatantly unacceptable were the roles reversed. But good characterisation just about saves the day.
