review 1: I gave a 3 star rating as it started off very good but near the end I lost interest.i like Harrison and Mimi characters but Harrison's sort of goes of the rails in the storyline .H is sister bee is always there for him when in doubt but he finally realises he wasn't very helpful or encouraging to get.I like the love story and about Harrison's childhood but not so keen on the feminism part as I felt it went over the top for me
review 2: I'm sorry to say I agree with reviews. It was a lovely tale which just got stranger and stranger until you were rolling your eyes at the fact that everytime an important woman in his life was in a relationship she was subject to domestic abuse or the patient he sees are abused in some way. A feminist bovelwhich perhaps takes the
... morefeminist a little too far? Her main charactar,Harrison, appears a little bit of a sap, which, I know the female characters are supposed to be stronger, but doesn't lend credence to the fact he's going to start a revolution... How does a bumbling middle aged man make a statement such as he does when he has appeared mostly clueless the whole book? Read it to the end because it is amising and she has a lovely writing style, but a bit disappointing really. less

Loved Harrison's manic ways and laughed a lot. Light feminist touches and a great film noir feel.
