Like all her books, the characters’ lives intertwine in such interesting ways and each offers wisdom in a unique voice. Her descriptions are so evocative. After reading Still Life, which I loved, I found this book was even better. SW takes you right into the setting so you feel you would like the book never to end.

I love this book. The characters the humour. It's not for everyone. Some people hate the main character. Personally I found him fascinating.

A unique and often funny perspective on what it means to be human, told through the eyes of an outsider trying to understand our emotions, relationships, and contradictions. It mixes philosophy, humour, and vulnerability in a way that makes you appreciate the small things in life.

A very honest look at alienation, identity, and the struggle to find your place in the world. Holden feels real rather than polished, and the book captures that uncomfortable space between adolescence and adulthood in a psychologically believable way.

A strange but powerful exploration of how we try to understand trauma and suffering through art and storytelling. It’s symbolic, unsettling at times, and raises questions about how history and cruelty can be represented without losing their meaning.

Great start to a series of books, truly gripping and the characters are great. Also has a great sub story going on in the background. Highly recommended.
