dark sad slow-paced

3.0

Good Behaviour is about a decaying genteel Anglo Irish family in the 1920s. The story is told by the daughter of the house, yet she does not grasp what is going on at all. It’s a very clever novel in its construction, but the characters are fairly grotesque and so I found it hard to like.
