Read on the Kindle. I realised I had read the whole short list for the Women's Prize for Fiction 2013 except this one and since this was the winner I thought I should give it a go. Other entries on the short list were:
- Bring up the Bodies, Hilary Mantel
- Flight Behaviour, Barbara Kingsolver
- Life after Life, Kate Atkinson
- NW, Zadie Smith
- Where'd you go Bernadette, Maria Semple
Harry Gold starts a misguided affair with his brother's wife. The outcome is a tragedy which sets Harry on a course to redeem himself in any way he can.
This is a very dark comedy, and a very American book. Hampered by the dense cultural references I felt as if I was missing some of the humour, satire and points to be made.
