“The recent winner of the Booker for Wolfhall. I had high hopes of this earlier novel about a medium who has had an abused childhood.
Powerfully delivered images of the gypsy home and nasty men. The ghosts are harder to believe.
If an editor had knocked 100 pages off this a better book would have been created. Too slow and a bit dull for that reason.
Score 5/10
