I was surprised this was a debut novel. It's written with a great deal of confidence and assurance and successfully captures the nuances of time and place as well as the dynamics of a troubled family. All these are harbingers of great things ahead for this talented writer, and I would be very tempted to read more from her.

I do think she has potential as a historical fiction writer. In some ways her purpose and focus is unclear, but the particular subject in this book is obscured by the issue of her American born child. I don’t know how the very best novelists structure their work, but this novel needs some tightening up or perhaps editing.
