Anyone reading or has read this? I have just started it and enjoying it so far. It’s an unusual but captivating format and story seems good.

I’ve just been given this and look forward to starting it.

*GrandmasueUKHave you read a Tale For The Time Being ? Read that some time ago and as I loved that I bought her latest. It has won the Women's Prize For Literature.

This is an update. I finished the said book and I have to say it wasn’t an easy read.Basically you are reading about mental illness and not in a too straight forward manner. I have mixed feelings about it. I loved A Tale For the Time Being and I can’t say that about this book. However, I can’t deny it is an unusual read with layers of story telling which are cleverly contrived.
