This got some fabulous reviews, but mainly from other writers, and looking now I can see that he appeals to professional writers who can admire his technique and structure. For a layperson like me it seemed like not much was happening. I still enjoyed it though, all the way through there was a dark melancholy just outside of the characters' consciousness, trying to seep in. Very dark and foreboding and large parts set in Mortlake, so it seemed very familiar, particularly the psychogeographic walks along the Thames and the Brent.
