2.5

This is such a Booker Prize book. So unnecessarily wordy and pretentious.
 No-one has ever made sex or food sound so disgusting. Also, none of the gross sex descriptions are actually necessary to the story.
 I mainly kept going because the narrator on the audio book had such a calming voice.

hettyreads's review

Currently not in the right head space for a slow paced heavy book, such a shame because I know this book is highly regarded... maybe another time
