Highlights
Quality
With the greatest possible respect to miss robinson this novel does not make my list although it is a really quality work
Robinson does so extremely well and will be remembered studied with the greatest writers in human history
I know this sounds like a disaster but it is only so when judged by the standards of the real world and this book creates its own world
Not an easy or uplifting read if the reader was familiar with the author’s later works but drew me in just as forcefully
Competitiveness
Centered around a family’s dysfunctional reaction to trauma and loss the story develops from one generation’s sins to the next
