A slow brooding read that builds up the pressure step by step in an atmosphere of almost intolderable claustrophobia, as the dirty secrets of a nowhere town gradually float to the surface. Beautifully composed and written, with an unusual structure: two very different points of view, and one set of acutely strange, disturbing diary entries. What happens? In some ways very little. But in the awkward and anxious silences seismic changes are taking place in the dynamics of this community, and the reader is holding their breath for the outcome.
