review 1: Sally is spiraling into a pit of madness, its gaping mouth opening wider and wider because the man she believes she loves no longer loves her. The problem is, Sally has a long-term partner and children she should be focusing on, but Clive - her former lover, also married (for a quarter of a century) - is all that consumes her mind. So what is Sally to do? Her therapist, Helen, suggests she keep a journal, and it is through this journal that the reader witnesses Sally's sharp decline into madness. Clive is despicable, promising to love and marry her, only to decide he's been filled up and no longer requires Sally to make him feel like a sexual beast. She is discarded. Still ensconced in the false promises he'd poured into her heart and mind over their five-year affair, it'... mores no wonder she loses her sanity. In the end he gets exactly what is coming to him. The reader won't like Sally, but that's okay because Sally doesn't like Sally either. It's a difficult read, because it isn't told in a familiar perspective, but worth it.
review 2: This brilliant novel is written as a journal and the story unfolds, keeping some of the secrets and the surprises slightly hidden and slowly unfolding. The main character, though twisted, dark and at times rather unhinged - is totally believable and sympathetic because of the clever way the author gets under her skin. There were times when I was truly appalled at what she did and the things she said, yet because of the clever writing and the way the character is so flawed yet real, I understood why she felt the way she did and the actions she took. A wonderful, wonderful book with a delicious thread of dark humnour running through the chill - like raspberry ripple through ice-cream! less
