Short listed for the Man Booker Prize in 2003. 'Fascinating, brilliant , horribly addictive' according to the cover blurb and I agree. A great read about obsession and loneliness with a subtle tone of evil and nastiness.

RELEASE NOTES:

Caught the book on a table in the foyer at Pambula.
I will send the book to Victoria
Ii is quite a gripping story, if not a little unnerving.

CAUGHT IN PAMBULA NEW SOUTH WALES AUSTRALIA

Caught the book on a table in the foyer at Pambula. Found the story gripping, if not a little unnerving. The structure of flashback and the use of first person was a compelling device.The detachment of the narrative created a disturbing distance from the ominous reality, like a Stanley Kubrick film.

Had the book sent to me from Pambula NSW.
The book sent me on a roller coaster of emotions from what seemed naivety to sheer stupidity yet I can see how it could happen. Sometimes wanting to stop reading because I felt like I was prying, but unable to put it down.
I am passing it on to a friend hungry for a good read.
