We're not even halfway into January yet, and I think I may have just finished the best book I'll read this year. This novel begins in the late eighties in a psychiatric hospital and then the second section catches up with some of the protagonists several years later in 2013. I was really sad when the first section ended, but also relieved - it was tearing my heart out. I'm not sure I could have coped with a whole book that wrenched at my heartstrings that much all the way through. The second section is just as engrossing but less of an emotional rollercoaster. I can't stress enough just how good this book is and I suspect I will be banging on about it all year - be warned. If you liked The Shock of the Fall and/or Scarlett Thomas, then give it a go.

I enjoyed this book - especially the first section. I found the second section a little harder to get through, but it kept me hooked nonetheless. Interesting insight into the history of an industry I'll be working in following qualification from university.
