It makes it look a bit cheap and unliterary. Maybe there will be second hand copies around.<br /><br />Jackie - I think you are right about the ending being clever - I've been thinking about it since I finished it, and I think you have summed it up nicely. I am quite sure my interpretation reflected my own prejudices.verityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16825551404394913715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2203825390310863045.post-26846682407201908222009-10-29T19:53:15.889+00:002009-10-29T19:53:15.889+00:00I loved this book.

I don't want to give anything away in the comments section, but what you think happens in the ending is a reflection of your prejudices. I admit that I assumed one thing happended, but it could easily have been the other way round. Do you understand what I mean? The author words it very cleverly and I was impressed.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07698068501004755678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2203825390310863045.post-85667911233609052952009-10-29T18:08:56.129+00:002009-10-29T18:08:56.129+00:00I will be taking note of this to read at some poin...I will be taking note of this to read at some point; the description of the narrative style sold me on it. For some reason this didn't appeal when I noticed it in a few bookshops; I think I was put off by the uninspiring cover.Paperback Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14579608422235511054noreply@blogger.com
