Pat Barker is a terrific story teller and does a great job building characters and scenes. The dialogue is punchy and the plot moves at a nice clip, gripping. Her books seem to expose children's dark underside, and by inverting innocence and guilt pose fascinating moral questions. Like peeling away layers from an onion, Barker goes deep within the human experience, revealing meanings and emotions that, I think, are relevant to most people.
Just bought this book today. Not sure why I bothered buying it new, since I didn't enjoy the first book of the series that much, but I have a few days off and couldn't resist. It's really not quite romance, or is at least quite borderline.
