This sucked me almost immediately. What you think is going to consume the story - whether or not the man in the email is truly Philip - turns out to be just a minor part. What takes over quickly? The secrets of Genevieve & Robert, the observations of Noi from the sidelines, the relationship between Bea & Laura, all constantly peeling away more & more layers before finally unravelling what happened to Philip in 1972. Had I started it earlier in the day, this would have been a one-day read for me.
