dark fast-paced

Definite shades of L’Étranger and Bonjour Tristesse - 104 pages of oppressive heat, inner turmoil and a sense of claustrophobia…

Crazy dark hunk of a novella- consumed and absorbed in a day- compelling but oh so disturbing 

Maybe 4.5 stars - I really liked this, definitely had Camus' The Stranger vibes
