Disappointingly cliche filled and increasingly dull book by someone who clearly has a way with words.

Found this a disappointing read. I don't understand why female characters need to suffer abuse/rape that has no real bearing on the plot. Expected better of John Banville/Mr Black.

I found it a little difficult to get a sense of the period the book was written in at the start. Some of the plot line was a little obvious but a good read none the less
