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.

This novel has a rather impressive blending of the personal and the political. Treating such subjects as the wars in Yugoslavia and coping with death, the presence or absence of family, it is all elegantly written and, bar the serious and sad subject matter, most enjoyable. In my opinion contemporary novels should be like this. Exemplary

Beautifully written. Insight into world of therapy as well as what it must have been like being Serbian at the time when they were demonised is impressive. Highly recommended.

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.
