File under best left unread in the same pile as A.L. Kennedy’s Original Bliss and close to Iris Murdoch’s The Bell. Even an aficionado of dysfunction fails to find anything to hang onto. Advertised as a potboiler in the vein of gothic horror it’s sad that one simply doesn’t care about the narrative, one simply doesn’t care about the protagonists, schematic as they are.
