Thoroughly enjoying how well this book subtly keeps secrets from you through a first person author. Not easy to do without being heavy handed or irritated but so far I’m obsessed, highlighting a lot and have a feeling it will make me cry at around 40%

I can see that this isn’t going to be a book for everyone because it’s hefty and not massively gripping, but I’m really enjoying just wandering around with this character. Hollinghurst is a fantastic writer and has a wonderful ability to capture how nuanced and rarely singular emotions are - characters are always “pleased and a little bored” or “polite and rather grim-faced”. I love it
