5.0 out of 5 stars
Grim, but brilliant
Fascinating. Extraordinary. Patrick White exploring with style, early in his illustrious career. Delves deep into the darkest, saddest and most forlorn corners of the characters. A grim, grim book - reflective of the dangerous times in which it was written (1941 London). Be sure and re-read chapter one on completion of the book, for some sense of hope or redemption...

What was this author thinking!?!
Quite possibly the worst book I have ever read. The characters are annoying and bland and the writing itself is superfluous and confusing. I felt that I had to force myself to finish it and then was angry that I didnt put it down halfway through. This book has nothing to say and is annoyingly terrible.

Not suitable for the eternal optimists or those looking for an easy read.
