Happiness by Aminatta Forna

5.0

This tale of Attila, a renowned psychologist, and Jean, a biologist/scientist, totally enthralled me, not just because I am familiar with the areas of London in which much of the story takes place. The way Aminatta Forma built up not only these but all the less important characters created a depth of knowledge about their lives which made me long for the happy ending which in my heart I knew would not come for all of them. Whilst the subtle shifts from past to present times reminded me of what I enjoy in the work of Kate Morton.
