Relaxing summer reading August 16, 2005
6 out of 8 found this review helpful
This novel is obviously not one of Rose Tremain's most profound, but her writing is as good as usual, as is her understanding of human nature. In a way, this can be read as a quite light-hearted exploration of different relationships and personalities.My only complaint is that Tremain provides a comic touch in this novel by using the truly outdated stereotype of the 'foreigner': a Polish character who talks about herself using the third person and makes ridiculous over emotional scenes which would only be credible in a comic book. Truly irritating. Otherwise, I would recommend this book to people who'd like to have something light to read at the beach.
