This is rather strange, but also rather wonderful. Like Anne Tyler, Gardam illuminates suburban life, but her world is more unsettling and disconcerting. It's also beautifully written and characterised - much better than her more famous novel 'Old Filth', though oddly similar in some ways.

Didn't really get the point of this - it wasn't very interesting or noticably well written.
