Our Book Group discussed this. At the beginning of the evening it was considered boring, enjoyable, annoying, shallow and easy reading by those attending. However, one member had spotted what no-one else had - that the whole book was an amalgam of two well known stories - that of the Greek Penelope/Odysseus and "Far From the Madding Crowd" - asking what would have happened if Penelope had not been faithful to her husband. This gave the book a whole extra dimension and we immediately spotted many clues - the son 'Tel' (Telemachus), the beautiful friend Helen, and the tapestry Penny was given. I have since done a little searching on the web and discovered that Sophia Watson is Auberon Waugh's daughter, and wrote this book shortly after separating from her own husband.
