3.0 out of 5 stars ok novel but slow, 4 Feb 2009
Story is good, character development is good but the book for me was very slow and can be a bit monotonous in parts. Very little actual dialogue.

The story takes place in London during the Balkan war and is about the Serbian therapist Mira and her relationships with both her own and her husband's family and her patients during the period in which not only is her native country at war but her husband Peter is stuggling with illness.
This brings turmoil in her relationships with all around her.
I found the first half of the novel "more difficult" to get through and it seemed to pick up half way and then I finished it quickly.
Maybe the novel which deals with pscychotherapists is not my cup of tea.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Joy, 21 May 2006
By Mrs. M. D. Moss (Norfolk UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Delivery Room (Hardcover)
Beautifully written. At times incredibly moving. Brownrigg has created some very real characters, I feel I know them well and that they must exist! A compassionate account of many difference perspectives. Clever work that remains accessable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best book I've read in a long time, 6 Jul 2008
By Jenny Watson (Farnborough, Hampshire) - See all my reviews
Wonderful book. I could not put it down. I felt more aware of the world and people while I was reading this - the book somehow heightens your senses. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely book
As well as beautifully written, the insight into world of therapy as well as what it must be like being Serbian at the time when they are demonised is impressive. Read more
