I found it hard to get started with this book. It was all so vague. I didn't even know what country it was set in, let alone what was going on. Maybe that was the intention, or maybe I missed some clues. Nevertheless, once I got into it, once the characters and setting became clear, the book gripped me. In a sense, nothing much happens. Football is played. Tea is drunk. Shopping is delivered. In another sense, everything happens. If, like me, you find the start hard, definitely worth persevering with!
